Hi John,
Sorry for the slight delay in responding to your e-mail. There are a number of drugs for sickle-cell disease in Nigeria.However of all these drugs one stands out as the champion. This is a drug called Nicosan.
Nicosan(formally known as Niprisan) was developed by a team of reseachers at Nigeria's National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development(NIPRD) with the help of a traditional medicine practitioner. Nicosan is a mixture of extracts from four tropical plants that grow in the wild in Nigeria.
However, the right to patent for the drug was sold to a US based company Xechem international inc. The company now has a production facility in Nigeria which was launched this year.
Nicosan is an anti-sickling natural herbal drug for the management of sickle-cell disease.Although Nicosan is not a cure for sickle-cell, it has been shown that majority of patient using Nicosan no longer experience crisis while on the medication.Also those whose crisis are not elliminated the crisis is substantially reduced.
The drug is taken through one-a-day capsules which, once started, must be taken daily by the patient. The current price for a months supply for Adults is about N 4,000 Naira (approx. US $32) and for Pediatrics about N 3,100 Naira (approx. US $24), respectively.
As for how you can get hold of the drug, there are two options.The first option is to find out whether the drug is sold online. Option 2, which is the only option if option one is not possible is that I will be the middleman between you and the company. This means we calculate the cost, you send the money, I buy the product and send it to the address that you provide(by the way I dont know where you are writing from).
I think I will stop here, I hope the information provided will be helpful.bye for now.
Paschal,
