It this were during POTUS Trump’s term, would be declared Off Label and not legal.

My doc says that was what probably made mine go away so quickly and easily.

So easily that we did not even know I had had it until they found I was chock full of antibodies.

Budesonide via nebuliser is what I normally use when I have a bad time with my asthma.

Sorry. Only a risky experimental vaccine that puts billions of dollars into the pockets of the oligarchs will do. Too bad. So sad.

It's not prescription. You can get it off the shelf at any drug store, even Walmart.

[RummyChick]

What you get off the shelf is not the same. I have both.

Of course, off the shelf is better than nothing but you would be better off getting the script version if you get COVID

Was going to say the same thing. Had COVID-like symptoms in late February to the point where I ended up in the ER. They gleefully told me it was not the flu - the “fun” started a couple weeks later - and I’m anecdotally sure my multiple asthma Rx’s were the reason I didn’t die.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Thanks.

[Radix]

Budesonide is Rx medication and it does require Physician authorization.

[RummyChick]

There is an OTC version. For example, at Walmart

Equate Non-Drowsy Budesonide Nasal Spray 32mcg, 120 sprays

I would definitely use it while trying to get the script.

It is not the cheapest drug but very effective. A doctor told the world he had a 100% effective treatment with all his COVID patients in July or August. I have been using it for the past 5 years.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

...reduced the relative risk of requiring urgent care or hospitalization by 90%

Good God...it sounds like that Budesonide with HCQ or Ivermectin would have probably cut deaths by 75% to 90%. But "get Trump" prevented all of that.

Wife had COVID pneumonia way back in early March before the advent of strict rules on what may or may not be prescribed. He gave her albuterol, that’s a standard asthma nebulizer, and an antibiotic injection. She was totally recovered in three days.

And yet again: Duh. It has a bactericidal effect. There are papers discussing this almost a decade ago.

PG is safer.
