This is saying that taking one or more of these drugs lowers the death rate for people with COVID-19.
For some of the drugs, people may still benefit by taking them when having COVID-19, even if the person has no health reason to take it when not infected. For other drugs listed, it would benefit people if taken both during COVID and after infection, because they may have had previously untreated conditions those drugs were meant to address, such as high blood pressure.
Thank you! When she thought I might have it was when it first started and they didn’t test if you didn’t have a high fever. They didn’t know much about it.
She told me to take the Famotidine and gave me prescriptions for Prednisone, Z-Pak, two cough meds, my asthma inhaler Albuterol, and some other stuff. It took a month before I felt much better and a long time before I actually felt well. I thought it was my usual asthma/bronchitis coming on, but it felt different.
Some folks have low blood pressure, so they wouldn’t be able to take any blood pressure lowering meds...
