Where to buy Tecovirimat

There is currently no news of Tecovirimat being launched in China. This drug is not available in domestic hospital pharmacies, let alone medical insurance. Purchasing medicine abroad is risky, as it is easy to buy counterfeit medicines in an unfamiliar place, and the cost is high. Purchasing agents are even more likely to be deceived. Patients can learn about Tecovirimat available overseas through Medical Companion Travel, which is guaranteed to be genuine and affordable, saving patients the trouble of going abroad to purchase medicines. Directly mailing Tecovirimat to your home from overseas can reduce the financial burden on patients. Because overseas drugs are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, drug prices are not fixed. For the specific price of a box of Tecovirimat and the drug purchase process, it is recommended to consult the medical companion and travel service staff.

How does Tecovirimat work?

Tecovirimat targets the orthopoxvirus VP37 protein and inhibits its activity. In animal studies, tecovirimat significantly improved the survival rate of monkeypox-infected animals. Tecovirimat's efficacy against smallpox was established through studies of animals infected with a virus closely related to the virus that causes variola. Animals treated with Tecovirimat had higher survival rates compared with the placebo group. The safety of Tecovirimat was evaluated in 359 healthy volunteers without smallpox infection. The most common side effects are headache, nausea, and abdominal pain. The above is where you can buy Tecovirimat and how it works. I hope it can help you!
