maria fernanda on 03 Nov 14"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ZMapp has yet to be tested in humans for safety or effectiveness. ZMapp is not a vaccine, but a therapeutic drug for Ebola, so it cannot prevent infection. There are currently no FDA-approved vaccines or treatment products for Ebola. The standard treatment is merely supportive therapy, such as balancing the patients' fluids and electrolytes, maintaining their oxygen status and blood pressure, and treating them for any complicating infections."
