| haxxiy said: Today I was talking with my brother, who has become a far better doctor than I could, about why azithromycin appears to be an effective treatment against the Covid-19. I wondered whether the drug intended to combat secondary or opportunistic infections, but apparently that... isn't the case. |
Its a medicine ment to treat lunge/airway infections right? (after a quick google search)
(it also helps with infections in skin/connective tissues, and some STDs ect)
Covid-19 hits the lunges hard, so it makes sense I guess? Im not a doctor :P
*edit:
Didnt the french say they found out that "hydroxychloroquine" worked? (som old malaria drug)?
And there was one of those HIV medicines too?
again like you said "medicine", sometimes its not clear why it works... but if it does, all the better :)
"The treated group was given 600 mg of Plaquenil each day.
The researchers found that 50 percent of the treated group turned from positive to negative for the virus by the third day — and by day six, that figure was up to 70 percent.
Of the 20 test patients, six who were treated with both Plaquenil and the antibiotic azithromycin showed impressive results — with five testing negative at day three. All six of them tested negative at day six." - nypost.com
