In this article, I read about a new use for old drugs in treating hepatitis C. “Common drugs used to treat conditions such as diabetes and obesity could be used to successfully treat hepatitis C virus infection.” (University of Leeds)  The scientists found out that there are many common drugs can threaten the virus. Such as Metformin and AICAR. They can fully cover 40% of the virus in the body. Not only that but also they might be able to fight against other diseases in the future.

This is a very important article. Because this discovery told us that, not all the drugs are useless, they can be use in a positive way. More importantly, the more we know, the more we can give to our offspring.
