MedicH:Think has something to do with helping with lung function and the fact that steroids generally are anti inflammatory drugs,infact one of the most powerful anti inflammatory drugs known. Don't forget,in preterm labor for example, dexamethasone is routinely administered for fetal lung maturity. |

[quote author=todaynewsreview post=90735661]Goodnews. Better days ahead. Hope this will not lead to lukewarm attitudes on parts of African Countries in their research endeavours too. Kudos to that team. That drug always gives someone amoeba shape. improper fraction. The person will become fat but the legs will look like mosquitoes legs.] |

dapsoneh:Yep. It suppresses immune system. And we know that over stimulation of immune system and release of damaging cytokines is a major problem causing severe illness and death. |

This is just an attempt to increase the price of this drug.
I don't know how a Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug will cure Covid-19. |

Seun: The difference is not just for the person at the short end of the stick of Covid-19... Dexamethasone is a drug used by a lot of people battling dermatitis, COPD, Asthma management, etc... Such steep spike in price of even a common generic will tell badly on most of them. Same thing happened with hydroxychloroquine... This is a drug that has for long been indicated and regularly used by sufferers of autoimmune conditions like Lupus... Imagine paying as much as 25,000 for the very same drug they always purchased regularly for 2,000. This is what I'm talking about... This is the injustice and aberration I would expect authorities like Price Protection Agency to guard against. |

wonder233: Who told you WHO, Bill Gates and CNN won't like it?? They would be happy...especially the WHO. Look, the results on dexamethasone come from a randomised controlled trial. About the highest grade trial you can conduct regarding drug related research. All your garlic, etc haven't been proven to work. Until they undergo a RCT trial and are proven to work against placebo or exisitng treatment, then we can talk. What's your problem with WHO? The same WHO that spends billions on malaria prevention, protein energy malnutrition treatment, anemia in women,vaccinations against childhood killer diseases etc etc, is not going to be happy about a potential treatment for covid19? 1 Like |
