In its public medical education role, The Preventive Medicine Center (PMC) concludes that these corona virus treatments for which there is validation would be helpful for those who need it and/or who await a vaccine. If practitioners used these already available treatment options which can be thoughtfully combined, the corona virus infection might simply be reduced to just a bad cold and rarely anything more. As this information may not be widely known, it is summarized here to help patients engage in a discussion with their health care providers.
– Decadron/also known as dexamethasone (or equivalent dose of prednisone: steroids similar to the natural stress hormone hydrocortisone produced by the adrenal glands)
-Regeneron 2 IgG antibodies for outpatients given by IV for age above 17, given within 72 hours of a positive test, within 7 days of symptom onset
– Remdesivir (an intravenous viral nucleotide analogue for in-hospital use that inhibits viral RNA polymerases thereby reducing viral replication): especially effective when combined with other agents, e.g. baricitinib
– Certain asthma inhibitors (Asmanex/ciclesonide inhaler or steroid similars, Singulair/montelukast to reduce lung inflammation)
– Stomach acid & cold/viral reducers (Pepcid/famotidine, Halodine/Povidone-Iodine Nasal Antiseptic Liquid Packet)
– Hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin + zinc as antibiotic and corona virus”ionophore” now considered acceptable by the AMA
– Colchicine (anti-inflammatory gout medicine to calm general inflammation)
– Ivermectin (lice treatment inhibits host proteins which allow importing the virus and also reduce viral-induced nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2 via MAPK inhibition)
– Metformin (diabetes medicine found to be effective in women)
– Bystolic (beta blocker that reduces platelet aggregation-reducing clotting and “calms” the heart that may be under attack)
– Livalo (statins reduce mortality by 25%)
– Tricor (a triglyceride-blood fat treatment)
– Persantin/dipyridamole anti-clotting pill
-Aspirin (low dose anti-platelet agents to inhibit clotting)
– Luvox/fluvoxamine (an anti-depressant that is an S1R agonist thereby affecting the corona virus)
– Iloprost (investigational lung blood vessel dilator that results in 79% lower risk of developing severe disease)
