A new combination of drugs, including a compound present in chocolate, can treat several influenza strains, including bird and swine flu, a new study has found.
The drug combination of chocolate ingredient theobromine, and the lesser-known compound arainosine, can be a potential gamechanger in treating flu, even outperforming the most widely used anti-influenza medication Tamiflu, according to the study published in the journal PNAS.
