None.

He takes a baby aspirin and the occasional Pepcid but aside from that just the usual supplements Calcium, Glucosamin Chondroitin, multi- vitamin and full spectrum minerals.

But he is retired military and so was given every vaccine known to man so maybe something there?

If they found Mylanta could treat Covid there would be an increase in untreated heartburn cause it would be pulled off the market in a week.

Pepcid. Famotidine.

I had a renter from South Africa who was given some vaccine when she was a n early teen that apparently is known to inhibit the Sars variety of viruses. She works with United Airlines but has not contracted the covid. one wonders how many things are suppressed that can fight the covid reset weapon>

All antivirals have to be delivered within days after infection, after that it has almost no effect as the body start to kill infected cells. For a few with Covid it is the immune reaction that is dangerous.

Perhaps Probenecid will work, time will tell.
