Brief Summary: The CDC and WHO have deemed the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic of unprecedented severity in modern times. In 2019, this novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged from the Asian continent and has now caused upwards of 1million deaths and over 6 million infections globally. Currently, the estimated global economic impact is over 5 Trillion dollars. Understanding the host response to pathogens, specifically the cellular and humoral responses, has played an important role in new non-antibiotic therapies. Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) has a potential role in the clearance and/or recurrence of enteric viral infections.

Back at the beginning I thought they said Pepcid helped.
Could be. That “subsalicylate” is in the name because it’s chemically related to aspirin, and scientists keep finding that aspirin does all sorts of things besides just pain relief.
Hmmmm! I use a no name brand of this. Maybe that’s why I haven’t gotten the CONvid. 🔬🤔😵🚫😷💉🐎💩😁
Fascinating.
And yeah, so do salicylates [4][5] (ex. aspirin, Pepto Bismol).
A few studies from the 1960's [6].
Folks might consider knowing their salicylate level if they ingest regularly. [7]
But just like Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine, these compounds are not just relegated to the back of the bus...they are thrown under the bus when it comes to sars-cov-2 "recommended" or potential therapeutics. $$$ can't be made and therefore the gov't functionaries like fraudchi can't be bothered and politicians can't be bought.
I’ve read Pepcid AC is a channel blocker and Claritin is another kind of channel blocker (for a different channel), and if you were taking both daily you’d reduce the number of places the spikes can attach, thereby giving the body a chance to clear spike proteins without the damage that can result if they attach. (or was it the virus itself has fewer attachments?)
I’m sorry I can’t recall for sure if it’s spike or viruses which have a harder time attaching, but I’ve seen claims these two different OTC meds help with Covid for about a year now.
You were obviously keeping up in class whilst I napped. hahaha
Sincerely, thank you for the information and your time.
Where are all the $hot $hill$ to discredit this?
From what I have read the famotidine(pepcid) is a histamine 2(h2) receptor blocker, but by blocking h2 activation,the virus is less able to enter cells. The h2 inhibition prevents biological channel from letting the virus in. The famotidine does not directly inhibit the channel. from what I read.The dose used in the study was about 80mg 3 times a day. Most pepcid doses for gi work is 40mg per day..higher doses may be used in hypersecretory conditions. 240mg is a high dose. The pepcid was used to decrease inflammatory symptoms from covid but was not tested for clearing of the virus.
Loratidine is a histamine 1 receptor blocker.
Histamine 1 initiates inflammatory actions. So Claritin used for suppressing that. H2 blockers used for suppressing GI acid secretion.
FYI. Freegards.
Thank you for the helpful, detailed reminder! I’m saving your info for future use.
...so if Grandma had just taken a couple of spoonfuls of something she probably had in her medicine cabinet, she might still be with us???
Thanks.
