It's available in Cuba where it was developed, but I doubt it will be available here for a while as there are no significant trial results. Although I think there are trials planned.

Hi there, there is a drug under development which has been part of a trial in Cuba as Linda mentioned. Phase II and III trials are being conducted by the university of Aberdeen however it is likely to be some time before the drug becomes available if it is successful.
