Abstract: The invention concerns a medicine and a prophylactic medicine for COVID-19 disease. The inventive medicine targets the endosomic, non-endosomic and/or intracellular viral pathways and inhibits them. The best mode of the invention is considered to be the medicine that blocks all three viral pathways. In the best mode the individual dose of a constituent component of the medicine is arranged to a dosage size sufficient to inhibit its designated SARS-CoV-2 viral pathway. This allows the dose of a particular pharmacological agent to be smaller than in a drug with just one kind of pharmacological agent. The best mode of the invention shuts the two cell membrane viral pathways and the one intracellular viral pathway with the minimum efficient dose, thereby preventing drug overdose, and enabling prophylactic or preventive use.
