The IL6 drug availability likely has more to do with when they use it.
Probably MIC, or made elsewhere with MIC ingredients.
IMHO this is why hospitals have shut down non essential procedures. lack of stuff to do them with. We’ll see if, when we reopen, they start doing those procedures again.
I dont know. The protocol of the hospital- posted yesterday..dont know where.. was to give it before intubation as per Dr but they changed it. He thought due to cost. It is an expensive drug...but could also be availability.
The texags Dr Marcus had help from one of the site members to get in touch with Genentech to give his patient the drug.
