{UAH} Dexamethasone, Oral Tablet

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322409

FOUND EFFECTIVE FOR TREATING COVID-19

Oxford University's RECOVERY clinical trial has found that low-dose dexamethasone increases the chance of survival in patients with COVID-19 who require respiratory support.

In the study, the drug reduced the number of deaths by one-third for people on ventilators, and by one-fifth for people on oxygen. There was no benefit found for people who didn't require respiratory support. Do not use this medication to treat COVID-19 unless your doctor recommends that you do so. If you have questions about the use of dexamethasone for COVID-19, talk with your doctor.
