Abstract

The validation study underscores the effectiveness of repurposed drugs in treating COVID-19symptoms, indicating their potential to alleviate symptom severity and duration. Understandingthe mechanisms of action behind these drugs' efficacy aids in identifying additional candidatesfor treatment. Rigorous clinical trials remain crucial for accurately assessing safety and efficacy.Overall, drug repurposing offers a promising strategy for combating COVID-19, but continuedresearch and adherence to scientific standards are essential for maximizing its impact. Thesefindings highlight the importance of repurposing existing medications to address urgent medicalneeds during the pandemic, expediting the development of effective therapies by bypassing thelengthy process of developing new drugs from scratch. Additionally, identifying commonmechanisms of action among repurposed drugs effective against COVID-19 can optimizetreatment regimens and accelerate future drug development efforts. However, it's crucial toremain vigilant about potential risks and adverse effects, emphasizing the need for ongoingmonitoring and regulatory oversight throughout the process
