Abstract
The new coronavirus pandemic alarmed the world. Misinformation regarding
prevention and treatment for safeguarding against this pandemic seemed
to be life-threatening along with the spreading pandemic. Public health
authorities in the world tried to battle this virtual virus by offering
true information and correcting misinformation. However, the public
misinformation through social media caused toxicological consequences in
some parts of the world which provoked awareness, response, and concern
of the public health authorities including the FDA and toxicology
community. On the other hand, finding new strategies for the prevention
and treatment of the coronavirus again stress the roles of public
education about true drug information. Hundreds of chemicals were/are
being tested to be prophylactic medications or healing drugs for the
coronavirus. Therefore, spread accurate information and edit
misinformation can be crucial. This essay is going to bring the
attention of misinformation regarding prevention and treatment for
safeguarding against the COVID-19 pandemic and its toxicological
consequences and the need for public education toward appropriate use of
therapies.
