Apparently the black market is the only 'trusted' outlet of the wonder drug. But how can one trust a dealer with fake Covidex already on the shelves of major pharmacies especially in Kampala.

Here is why COVIDEX is out of stock and how you can get yourself one.

Prof Patrick Ogwang recently announced that the official distributors of COVIDEX in Uganda are Eco pharmacy and Rocket health, Ugandans who took his word as the only and only existing truth are now shocked that for two weeks now, the wonder drug is out of stock in the authorised outlets.
Apparently the black market is the only 'trusted' outlet of the wonder drug.
But how can one trust a dealer with fake Covidex  already on the shelves of major pharmacies especially in Kampala 
On Saturday 10th June 2021, atleast 14 clinics dealing in illegal Covidex were closed down, among these were a clinical officer in Nansana, Wakiso District, a barber in Wandegeya, Kampala, and another who works at an agro-chemicals shop, these were allegedly manufacturing and distributing fake bottles of the Covidex herbal medicine, the arrested were detained at Wandegeya Police Station.
Over  300 bottles were recovered in the operation within Kampala metropolitan.
When NDA was asked by journalists on how one can differentiate between the fake and real Covidex,  they were unable to explain,  now this leaves the public at the mercy of the dealers.
And  by the way, one needs connections to know a someone who knows a dealer!
Whereas Prof Ogwang says a bottle should cost atleast shs 12,000, the black market dealers sell it at shs 40,000 and above, Ofcourse they claim to  deal in the 'original' drug, and desperate Ugandans are buying.
Whereas all this is happening Prof Ogwang who has been sued over ownership of the Covidex cannot speak to the media any more.
Prof Patrick Ogwang has been sued before the High Court in Kampala by a concerned lawyer named George William Alenyo.

The petitioners’ concern is that Prof Ogwang, a civil servant, developed the herbal medicinal drug using government funds at Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST), alongside his colleagues and yet he is single handedly claiming its patent rights as an individual.

“A declaration that the Covidex drug is a proprietary patent for the government of Uganda, having been developed on government funds, premises, and laboratories and by government public servants paid from the Consolidated Fund,” the petitioners plead to court.

“An order of permanent injunction against the 1st defendant (Prof Ogwang) from claiming patent or Intellectual Property (IP) over the Covidex drug,” they added.

A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention or innovation.

All in all, the future of Covidex hangs in balance and the bad publicity is bad for the future of the 'wonder drug'.
