Korean scholars have reported that new drugs developed using traditional medicines such as herbs have once again been shown to have significant antiviral effects.

Researchers at the Korea Research Institute of Korean Medicine Research Center recently published a research report purporting that a new prescription drug called kiom-c developed using traditional herbal medicines such as Korean herbs would have PCVAD (circovirus-related disease) The sick pig has obvious efficacy. The 1% dilution of Kiom-c can significantly increase the weight of affected piglets and increase their activity.

The study concluded that this effect is due to the strong antiviral effect of kiom-c.

The researchers compared grouped experimental data for three groups: a healthy group that did not have PCVAD, an affected group that did not have treatment, and a treatment group that provided a kiom-c medication. Each group includes 10 piglets and the experimental period is 4 weeks. The experiment found that the piglets in the treatment group did not die, and the average mortality of the untreated piglets in general was 20% to 30%. The average weight gain of piglets in the treatment group reached 97% of the healthy group.

PCVAD is an abbreviation of porcine circovirus-related diseases, including PMWS (weaned piglet multiple system failure syndrome), PDNS (porcine dermatitis nephrotic syndrome), PRDC (porcine respiratory disease syndrome) and other clinical manifestations, the death of sick piglets The rate is higher than the non-invasive population. The disease has received increasing attention in recent years. Farming owners have responded by injecting antibiotics and using growth promoters.

In order to reduce the side effects of antibiotics and its impact on human health, the Korean government recently announced that it will completely ban the addition of antibiotics to feed products during the year.

Kiom-c is a type of influenza A therapeutic drug that is obtained by extracting some ingredients from the traditional medicinal materials of Korean real estate according to the new prescription. Its active ingredient comes from the traditional medicinal herbs marketed in 2010. In animal experiments, kiom-c apparently has an effect on influenza viruses and is considered a breakthrough in traditional medicine research.
