Researchers claim to have discovered cure for SARS

Advertisements [?]

Two drugs already in use could be effective in fighting SARS, National Health Research Institutes researchers said yesterday.

The anti-psychotic drug Promazine and Niclosamide, a drug which is used in the treatment of worm infections, may be able to fight the SARS virus, according to the government-run institute.

"After different experiments, we have proved that these two kinds of drugs have a significant effect in inhibiting the replication of SARS-coronavirus," the institute said in a statement.
