Herbal remedies for Covid-19 will be produced in capsule form by pharmaceutical companies in Laos.

 

Dr. Lattanaxay Phetsouvanh, Director-General of the Ministry of Health's Department of Communicable Disease Control, claims that Laos' Institute Traditional Medicine has studied the process of producing herbal medications in capsule form, which are now being used to treat patients infected with Covid-19.

 

Andrographis paniculata, Houttuynia cordata, and white Kaempferias will be used to make herbal medicine capsules.

 

“In the provinces of Champasack and Savannakhet, medical workers are already treating about 450 Covid patients using herbal medicine capsules,” stated Dr. Lattanaxay.

 

Dr. Lattanaxay Phetsouvanh stated, "Herbal medicine has been shown to be useful in the treatment of respiratory disorders, particularly the coronavirus."

 

“We are employing domestically sourced herbal medication, as well as Chinese government support,” he continued.

 

Medical professionals intend to test the alternative medicine on Covid patients to see how successful Lao herbal remedies are when used in conjunction with other treatments.
