What drugs work?


Hydroxychloroquine and zithromax seem to have the best evidence, but its anecdotal. No real studies yet. Current studies don't look great but the combo drug is typically reserved for the sickest.
Multiple physicians across the country have taken it and said they felt completely better the next day.

Some people have taken it prophylactically and have died as hydroxychloroquine can be quite toxic.

Anyone sick enough to get admitted (meaning you need extra oxygen) should be demanding it right now, as it has the best evidence.
If you are under 60, healthy, not hospitalized, probably more toxic than helpful.

Is this cutting into your time to bang hot nurses?

ETA: I’m a pharmacist and we cannot get any hydroxychloroquine in stock. Did all the stock that was donated to the state go only to hospitals for inpatient treatment? Also, are doctors only giving azithromycin to prophylactically treat pneumonia because it sure as hell has zero antiviral properties.

Information: How good is the information sharing amongst the medical community? Do they share what is working and what isn't? Is the information crowdsourced at all or is it all centrally controlled?


Auto-immune diseases: Are people with psoriasis, crohns, MS, lupus, etc worse off once they contract CV because of cytokine storms?

Combo hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin have best anecdotal evidence but unfortunately several contraindications, needs EKG checked before and during, so likely not a miracle prophylactic. But if production can get ramped up, we could use on most patients needing hospitalization instead of what we are doing now which is only giving to ICU patients since supply is limited.

From one of the hospitals I work at:
Hydroxychloroquine
(Plaquenil®)
-Only limited clinical trial data available
- In vitro activity against various viruses, including coronaviruses
-Has immunomodulatory activity that theoretically could contribute to an anti- inflammatory response in patients with viral infections
-Additional data needed to determine if in vitro activity against SARS- CoV-2 corresponds with clinical efficacy for treatment or prevention of COVID- 19

Azithromycin Macrolide- Preliminary data from an ongoing study in France
-small nonrandomized study that didn’t appear to be designed to compare hydroxychloroquine vs hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin
-Additional data needed before any conclusions can be made regarding possible benefits of using hydroxychloroquine with azithromycin.

Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) Neuraminidase inhibitors:
-Antivirals active against influenza viruses No data to date support use in
the treatment of COVID-19

Darunavir/Cobicistat (Prezcobix):HIV Protease Inhibitor
-Antiretroviral with in vitro activity against SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV
-Some evidence of benefit in animal studies for treatment of MERS-CoV
-Efficacy for treatment of COVID-19 not definitely established.
-Published data currently lacking on in vitro activity against SARS-
