4.3.1. Chemical Drugs
In the treatment of any disease, it is important to be aware of the
different drugs that can be possibly used to combat the illness. In the
case of COVID-19 due to the variety of symptoms, there is a range of
chemical drugs that could be effective in the specific treatment of the
symptom, hence it is important to understand the drugs that are most
effective here. Another strategy is also the repurposing of existing
drugs that exhibit desirable effects when administered to patients
affected withCOVID-19. However, during the start of the pandemic, there
have been several in silico studies carried out to discover novel
leads for the treatment of COVID-19. Here we will discuss different
chemical drugs that are either being currently studied or have shown
promising results towards treating or managing the disease.
