The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has, again, warned Nigerians against taking Chloroquine as treatment for Coronavirus (COVID-19).
"The delay in approving some of the drugs for treatment of the virus is because of the clinical trials the agency is carrying out on them.
Mrs Adeyeye, a professor, said the Chinese government carried out lots of trials on Chloroquine before it approved its use for treatment on some COVID-19 patients.
"Nobody can do any job of clinical trial in the clinic or anywhere without passing through NAFDAC protocol.
The NAFDAC boss further said whatever procedure was coming up for the cure or curtailment of COVID-19 must be submitted for trial to the agency for appropriate processing.
