MGC Pharmaceuticals Ltd, which has a base in Malta, has seen very positive results from a clinical study for the white-label version of its ArtemiC™ Support to assess its impact on patients suffering from Long-COVID.
During the study 60 COVID-vaccinated patients suffering from Long-COVID were observed in clinics across Spain when administered the study product twice a day for six weeks.
The administered nutraceutical was shown to alleviate symptoms of Long-COVID unrelated to functional limitations, including pain, mental confusion, sleep disorders and inflammation.
The results of the study show a statistically significant improvement in symptoms associated with Long-COVID following the treatment. Biological markers in the blood tests further proved a reduction of inflammation and enterohepatic involvement, as well as liver reactant proteins.
The efficacy of the nutraceutical can be measured by a quality of life, physical and cognitive symptoms improvement of those who were part of the trail.
The medicine has been shown to help with dyspnoea, sleep disorder, headaches, depression, pain, mobility intestinal problem and mental confusion as they are related to Long-Covid.
