They’ve been used for a while in the U.S. It’s what President Trump got when he came down with covid and it’s a pretty standard treatment for high risk people.

Rituxan, used to treat a variety of auto-immune disorders, is another type of monoclonal antibody therapy.

RE: it’s a pretty standard treatment for high risk people.

Just make it standard for everyone.

If you have Covid and have to ask a doctor to be treated with it, then that doctor is not worth visiting. A good doctor SHOULD have heard about it and should be learning about it.

Don’t mention this on Twitter or Facebook; you’ll get banned. Covid cures are absolutely forbidden topics.

Well, I do see Eli Lily advertising their Monoclonal Antibody treatment for Covid in Facebook.

As I have said all along — this is the way people who are not interested in vaccination should be treated if they come down with the disease.

Without delay, as early as possible seek this treatment. It turns you around within 24 hours. You have through day 10 to get this life saving infusion.

Forget all the other weaker treatments, this is the real deal.

Monoclonal antibody treatment seems the best option at this time IMO.

It was good enough to treat president Trump, it’s good enough for me.

I drank water and super doses vitamin c and zinc. I was over covid within two days. And I’ve had colds that were worse.

If someone is vulnerable, then by all means. However, let’s save the treatment for them rather than the 99% of us who won’t need anything more than chicken soup.

To refine the position — if you are over 65 or have any risk factors, I would recommend this IMMEDIATELY — the earlier the better. If you fit the profile which an awful lot of people do, I would not wait for Vitamin C or Chicken soup to work.

This should be targeted therapy, and honestly there is enough that I think anyone over 40 should get this immediately, particularly if symptomatic.

If they can’t access this treatment, they should look at other treatments. I suggest they look at Dr Kory’s approach.

I’m ready at the first sign with ivermectin and zinc and the rest... but if I would see no improvement in 48hrs it would be off to the ER and an insistence on monoclonal antibody treatment.

Or even better, just go to the ER first thing and demand monoclonal antibody treatment.

It’s the smart move.

There is no reason why this treatment should not be accessible. I have little trouble getting patient is immediately who meet criteria.

In my judgment, it is medically irresponsible to advocate for anything of a lesser standard. There is no reason why this should not be pursued aggressively.

How sure are you that this treatment is available in all clinics and hospitals? And even if they are, is it STANDARD treatment they give to patients who come on an outpatient basis? If not, why not?

Except it is not through the ER in most places — this is an OUTPATIENT infusion and must be set up through a primary physician. In the Deep South, any physician can write the orders, this is a noncontrolled substance. Find the infusion centers in your area and get the order faxed there ASAP. It can happen as quick as 6 hours or take as long as 24 - 48, so START IMMEDIATELY with symptoms.

There are people who can’t access it.

I suggest that they don’t sit and remind everyone that you said they should get that treatment until running out of breath.

It is not available except in infusion centers. It is easy to web search what centers are in your area, then INSIST on your primary physician or any specialist to fax the order in. Most infusion centers will accomodate within 24 hours. Be aggressive an insist on it.

It would be far easier if I could use this in a hospital, but some freaking bureaucrat decided admission to a hospital means no outpatient treatment. I have a lot of patients with moderate disease in the appropriate time frame I wish I could give this to in the hospital.
