Covid-19 Vocabulary Various Terms Explained
  • Covid-19 has changed our lives in a snap. With
    the new normal, this deadly virus has also
    brought along stress and worries. We have a good
    understanding of how the virus spreads. Weve
    learned the definitions of isolation and
    quarantine. Despite this, several words that we
    are unfamiliar with exist. If we arent conscious
    of our symptoms, how can we get proper care and
    buy generic medicines online? In this article, we
    discuss the Covid-19 vocabulary and what it
    means. Read through the Covid-19 mini dictionary
    we have assembled for you.
  • 1. Antibody
  • Antibodies are a form of protein produced by your
    body to combat antigens (foreign substances). The
    Covid-19 virus, in this instance. Antibodies help
    the body fight infections by providing immunity.
  • Research has shown that our bodies start
    producing antibodies against Covid-19 in the
    second week after the symptoms begin. Our body
    does not get a high chance to fight the infection
    as the virus spreads quickly. It is always better
    to be safe, which is why you should buy proper
    medications for mild cold and cough from your
    generic medicine supplier before it increases
    your chances of getting infected. Heal it before
    it has a chance to destroy you.
  • 2. Anosmia
  • Also known as smell blindness, Anosmia is partial
    or absolute loss of smell. Anosmia can be
    temporary or permanent. One of the common
    symptoms observed during the outspread of
    Covid-19, it felt almost as fatal. If treated
    properly, the symptom is curable. Many people
    have recovered from this stage gradually.
  • We advise you to visit a doctor as soon as you
    feel any loss in your sense of smell. Prevention
    is better than cure. Covid-19 is unpredictable,
    take all the cautions you can.

  • 3. Comorbidities
  • Comorbidities refer to a condition in which
    individuals have two or more underlying diseases
    at the same time. People with diabetes, asthma,
    hypertension or some other chronic illness are
    more susceptible to infection and death.
  • It is important to take your medication on time.
    To refill your prescription, look up
    generic medicines store near me and place an
    online order. Please do not leave your house
    unless it is absolutely required.
  • 4. Cytokine Storm
  • Cytokines are small proteins tasked with the
    function to regulate the immune system and
    healthy cell growth. Upon release, they signal
    the immune system to do its job.
  • Cytokine Storm refers to massive cytokine
    release, more than what is required.
    Overproduction of cytokines starts affecting
    healthy cells and tissues, leading to organ
    damage. Covid-19 infections affect the lungs,
    causing cytokine storm, which leads to lung
    damage. If not treated on time, it may prove
    fatal.
  • We recommend you to get your medications from an
    approved generic medicine store in Ahmedabad for
    your symptoms before your condition worsens.
  • 5. Mutation
  • The viruses that have RNA as genetic material
    (Covid-19, for instance) undergo mutation. The
    genetic material can be DNA or RNA. Genetic
    material is layered with proteins. When a virus
    enters your body, it starts replication itself.
    An error in replication leads to mutation. It is
    not rare and usually weakens the virus. Although
    in some cases, mutations can make viruses
    unpredictable fast.
  • To ensure your safety, please keep your
    medications with you. Buy generic medicines
    online for cold, cough, fever, and other mild
    symptoms.

  • 6. Vaccination and Vaccine
  • The term Vaccinations refers to the process of
    administering vaccines. Vaccination is given to
    strengthen immunity against a particular virus or
    disease. A Vaccine is a biologically made product
    administered for immunity against germs.
  • There are two Vaccines available against Covid-19
    in India - Covaxin and Covishield. Both these
    vaccines are different from each other.
  • Covaxin is an inactivated virus, which means it
    is made of dead Covid-19 remnants. Covishield is
    the modified version of chimpanzee adenovirus.
    Both these vaccines are completely safe to use.
    There is no better choice between the two.
  • Dosage remains the same for both the vaccines
    i.e., two dosage regimens with a gap of 28 days.
  • Some people might face side effects such as
    soreness, fever, body ache, nausea, cold, cough,
    abdominal pain, dizziness, etc. You must register
    yourself and take the vaccines before the virus
    gets you.
  • You can always visit a doctor for the side
    effects and contact your generic medicine
    supplier for your prescriptions.
  • 7. Variant
  • When one virus develops two or more mutations
    that are completely different from the parent
    virus, it is termed as Variant.
  • The term Strain differs from variant. The Novel
    Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) which has been the main
    cause is called the Strain. The different
    mutations that have developed along the way such
    asE484K, N440K, etc. are its variants.
  • Whether strain or a variant, the virus is
    unpredictable and spreads quickly. Store
    medications, buy generic medicine online, take
    all the necessary precautions.
  • If you have to go out, make sure you wear a mask.
    You can wear a medical mask or one made from
    cloth. You can wear double masks as well. While
    wearing double masks, always pair a cloth mask
    with a medical mask. Do not use two same masks.
    If you can purchase and use N-95 masks, it is the
    best option available. You can buy N-95 masks as
    well as medical masks from any generic medicine
    store in Ahmedabad.

  • Follow proper hand hygiene routine. Wash your
    hands with soap and water as soon as you come
    back home. Keep a hand sanitizer handy. Clean
    your hands frequently.
  • Covid-19 has brought along uncertainties.
    Remember, the virus is still out there. It is
    still spreading. You can keep yourself and your
    family safe by taking the necessary precautions.
    Keep your mask on, your hands clean and maintain
    at least 6 feet distance whenever you step out of
    your house.
  • Conclusion
  • Generic Medicines are identical to brand-name
    medicines. Brand-name medicines often cost a lot.
    With increasing Covid-19 cases, prices of
    medicines have risen. Treatment has become
    unaffordable, inaccessible, and unavailable. With
    Medkart by your side, you need not worry. We
    manufacture and sell generic medicines online as
    well as offline. Our medications are approved and
