Dexamethasone for the treatment of emerging corona
Is there an effective treatment for critical SK virus patients? What about dexamethasone? Here are the details?
The World Health Organization (WHO) is optimistic about the results of using dexamethasone to treat people with the emerging coronavirus.
This drug helped patients with critical conditions, especially those who had to use ventilators.
Dexamethasone is a type of corticosteroid, which recently helped reduce the number of deaths of patients using ventilators by about a third, according to the study, and this decrease was in patients who only needed oxygen by about half.
It should be noted that the benefits of using this drug were only apparent in patients with serious and serious complications, not those with moderate and mild symptoms.
These results belong to a British study conducted by Oxford University, which began in March and targeted more than 11,500 patients.
The main researcher in the study, Professor (Peter Horby), explained that this is the only drug that has been used with good results in order to improve the survival rate of patients with the emerging coronavirus, and that it is necessary to become part of the health care plan provided to these patients.
As for Dexamethasone, it is used to reduce inflammation in a wide range of diseases, such as arthritis, allergies and even some types of cancer.
