Abstract:

There are no specific therapies approved by the U.S. FDA for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 COVID-19. Several agents are under clinical trial and the use of pharmacological agents are based on in vitro activity against SARS-CoV-2 or related viruses. While the efficacy of drug therapy is yet to be established, we need to focus on prophylactic measures. The current write up describes the chemoprophylactic, ayurvedic, homeopathic and unani prophylactic approaches for combating COVID-19.
