India on Monday issued a new clinical protocol for Covid treatment and dropped all commonly used treatments for mild patients of the infection, including antibiotics, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), ivermectin and antiviral drug favipiravir.
No antibiotic for mild cases
- No antibiotics or antiviral drug favipiravir for mild patients
- No steam inhalation (people doing this in excess)
- Hydration, good diet, positive mindset, social connection important for recovery
- Remdesivir, tocilizumab use only in severely ill cases, as per fresh DGHS norms
WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan today hailed the new evidence-based guidelines developed by the Director General of Health Services (DGHS) who said mildly ill Covid patients would be fine with just paracetamol, cough syrup and budesonide inhalation and need not be prescribed any antibiotics or major drugs at all.
This means the currently in use and much prescribed HCQ, favipiravir, ivermectin, azithromycin, doxycycline, zinc and vitamins are not required clinically and have no evidence of benefit.
The DGHS advice, however, is at variance with the ICMR advisory, which recommends both ivermectin and HCQ in mild cases. For asymptomatic patients, the new guidelines do not even recommend a blood test or any drugs and clarify “no investigation and no medications are needed at this stage”.
Mild patients would need investigation and paracetamol if symptoms of fever, cough, fatigue and other classical Covid signs persist or deteriorate.
The guidelines say no to Baba Ramdev’s Coronil and 2-DG drug for moderately ill patients and recommends monitoring of oxygen saturation, controlling comorbidities and giving steroids and anticoagulants as per medical advice.
The guidance lays down clear indications for the use of tocilizumab drug in severely ill patients and also tells doctors how and when to prescribe. It stresses the need to recruit a hospital infection committee to ensure prevention from fungal infections like mucormycosis and spells out a clear use and dosage of amphotericin B, which is in short supply currently.
The new advice says no to irrational and rampant use of chest CT scans and indicates when to use a chest X-ray. “Exercise extreme caution when ordering a chest CT scan. Patients must remain socially engaged and stay positive,” the guidance says.
“WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan today hailed the new evidence-based guidelines developed by the Director General of Health Services (DGHS) who said mildly ill Covid patients would be fine with just paracetamol, cough syrup and budesonide inhalation and need not be prescribed any antibiotics or major drugs at all.”
“This means the currently in use and much prescribed HCQ, favipiravir, ivermectin, azithromycin, doxycycline, zinc and vitamins are not required clinically and have no evidence of benefit.”
So these “cures”, widely touted by the anti-vaxxer cult, are shown once again to “have no evidence of benefit”.
About three four days ago I came across an article how great ivermectin was working in India, aside from that I do believe ivermectin does a great job. Now all of a sudden according to this article all of this has been dropped. Just for curiosity sake do you have an explanation? Did someone get paid off ? Or did the Indian government come to the conclusion that they have too many people anyway and getting rid of a few millions may help the cause. Just wondering.
I still do believe that HCQ as well as ivermectin along with zinc etc. is still as effective as it ever was and continues to be. In the mean and between time some people were paid off to change their minds aside from that there also appears to be a more sinister side to the whole thing, even so I don’t subscribe to conspiracy theories, I come to believe more and more that the other idea behind the vaccine is population control, it may not work suddenly but over time. A couple of interesting articles I came across served to confirm my suspicion. They are DAEGLE FORECAST PART 1 & DAEGLE PREDICTIONS PART 2. They are long but worth reading. I am quite sure if you Google for them you will be able to bring them up.
