Is there a treatment for Covid-19 at your local pharmacy? Researchers are testing existing medications to try to find one, Dr. Sanjay Gupta says.

The most famous example is sildenafil -- aka: Viagra. Originally developed to treat high blood pressure, the little blue pill received US Food and Drug Administration approval in 1998 to treat erectile dysfunction, and very quickly became a blockbuster drug.Another notable example is thalidomide.

Fajgenbaum is both haunted and driven by the prospect that other medications are sitting there, in plain sight, and could help someone battle something."So what keeps me up at night is saying, 'These drugs are out there. What work can we do to figure out how these drugs that are approved for something can maybe be used in a new way that can save a patient's life,'"he said.
