The disclosure was made in a statement released and signed by Father Anselm Adodo OSB on Wednesday, April 29, on the official page of the Pax Herbal Clinic and Research Laboratories, Outcome News reports.

Legit.ng notes that the cleric said the drug is solely for the treatment of coronavirus.

Father Anselm said that plant-based drugs are seemingly the best approach for coronavirus because these drugs are easily produced, stored, and distributed and can be handled by medical and non-medical personnel as they pose a low contamination risk.

He said the constituents of the drug are antiviral and immunomodulatory agents which help to stimulate antibodies.

The cleric said: “The Pax CVD PLUS contains herbs and active phytoconstituents with documented scientific evidence based on clinical reports of their efficacy and safety.”

According to Father Anselm, the research is a joint effort of experts from the University of Lagos and the University of Benin, a tertiary health institution—Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Edo state, and experts sent by Prof Tunde Salako and Prof Catherine Adeyeye.
