PrevengHo-Vir, a homeopathic medicine that increases the body's response capacity to infectious diseases, also benefits the people of Las Tunas, as part of a massive prophylactic medication against COVID-19.
Las Tunas, Cuba.- Libya Lezcano Faura, head of the Natural and Traditional Medicine Program in Las Tunas, explains to 26Digital that in an initial stage more than 7,130 doses have already been applied to patients and workers of psycho-pedagogical medical centers, nursing and maternity homes, the Psychiatric Hospital and grandparents' homes.
At the same time, it is administered to exposed personnel who work in isolation centers set up to care for those suspected of the disease, their contacts and travelers. In this first stage, those who work in the pharmaceutical services also have priority.
Lezcano emphasizes that, in the territory, the professionals were previously trained to guarantee the correct application of the PrevengHo-Vir, produced by the AICA Laboratories of BioCubaFarma.
She also means that the medicine reached the municipalities of Puerto Padre and “Jesús Menéndez” and it is expanded to reach the rest of the population, which will favor, especially, elderly people who are not in care institutions.
The recently introduced drug is subject to rigorous control. It is one of the so-called complexes, because it is made up of various homeopathic preparations; each of them has already demonstrated its effectiveness in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.
"It comes in a 10 ml bottle, to prevent influenza, flu, dengue, and emerging viral infections. Therefore, they advise its use in situations of epidemiological risk like this, which the country is passing through.”
To administer it, five drops must be placed under the tongue, one daily dose for three consecutive days and the five drops are repeated on the tenth day of the initial intake. Today - she points out - we are diluting it in two ounces of drinking water at room temperature to avoid the risk of contamination and the spread of the disease, from direct contact with the bottle.
"You have to complete all the treatment of the preventive scheme. Before using it, it is important to energize the product, that is, to move the bottle 10 times against the palm of the hand.”
The specialist says that it should not be administered together with food or drinks, since the mouth must be clean and free of odors and any flavor. Nor you can smoke or brush your teeth 20 minutes before or after its administration. Warnings include keeping the container away from equipment that generates electromagnetic waves, such as televisions, microwaves, computers, cell phones, radio, telephone, refrigerators, and others.
"We reiterate that PrevengHo-Vir is not a vaccine or a specific treatment against the COVID-19. Its consumption is intended to strengthen the immune system of people against infections in general. So the social distancing and hygiene measures indicated by the health authorities cannot be neglected.”
Currently, there are 20 homeopathic products from the basic table of natural medicines in Cuba, including PrevengHo-Cholera, PrevengHo-Dengue, TratHo-Cholera and TratHo-Dengue; which have beenused in other epidemic situations as a prevention strategy in populations with epidemiological risk.
