Budesonide, a cheap asthma drug, can alleviate covid-19 at home

AS VACCINATION against covid-19 gathers speed, the end of the covid-19 pandemic is starting to hover on the horizon. But not everyone will take the vaccine and none of the jabs is 100% effective at preventing any illness at all. Even where vaccination rates are high some people will, at some point, become infected. Results from a clinical trial in Britain published today show that budesonide, a cheap generic drug they can take at home, will make their illness slightly less miserable.

Budesonide is a corticosteroid drug widely used by people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, who take it using a palm-sized inhaler. Early in the pandemic doctors noticed that people with these conditions were under-represented among covid-19 patients. That looked odd, because they are particularly susceptible to other respiratory infections such as the flu.

The results came from a trial called PRINCIPLE, which is testing treatments for covid-19 that people can take at home. The trial is run at more than 2,600 general-practice surgeries in Britain and is one of the biggest in the world for covid-19 outpatient treatments. It enrolled patients with covid-19 symptoms who were at high risk of becoming severely ill—people over 50 with various underlying health problems and people over 65 regardless of their general health.

Do followw me

I’ve been on it for 1.5 years. Good to know.

anttipirttimaki What does that mean? Is it used to treat COVID19? Can it be used to protect from infection to SARSCoV2 or the variants?

ProfTimNoakes Fascinating- I heard about Budesonide on the 8 July 2020 whilst listening to an interview with Dr Richard Bartlett. I find it absolutely obscene how plugs were pulled on so many potential treatments which could have saved thousands of lives. Does WHO really care?

ClayBarber Yo, i don't care about 'the cheap' things. I hope this drugs will be the solution and cure the covid patient. I just want the world cool like before 🖖🖖🖖
