Russia develops new pox virus treatment
Russia announced the approval of a new drug called "Nyoch-14," an antiviral that treats infections caused by smallpox viruses, monkeypox, and cowpox. The head of the Russian Consumer Protection Agency explained that the drug was developed through a collaboration between the "Vektor" Scientific Center and the Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry, as a step to address the growing concerns over the spread of monkeypox, especially since smallpox has been eradicated worldwide since 1980.
