The doctors from Rajavithi Hospital in Bangkok said a new approach in coronavirus treatment had improved the condition of several patients under their care, including one 70-year-old Chinese woman from Wuhan who tested positive for the coronavirus for 10 days.
The drug treatment includes a mixture of anti-HIV drugs lopinavir and ritonavir, in combination with flu drug oseltamivir in large doses. "This is not the cure, but the patient's condition has vastly improved. From testing positive for 10 days under our care, after applying this combination of medicine the test result became negative within 48 hours," Dr. Kriangska Atipornwanich, a lung specialist at Rajavithi, told reporters.
"The outlook is good but we still have to do more study to determine that this can be a standard treatment." Chinese health officials have already been administering the HIV and flu drugs to fight the coronavirus. The use of the three together in a cocktail seemed to improve the treatment, the Thai doctors said.
Ayi khona.
These man made viruses are being treated by the same medication?
So they created a virus almost similar to HIV. 😏 Stronger HIV is coming.
This is getting out of hand.
Anything to help before it spread all over the world
What
Sadly one patient isn’t a very large sample.
😂😂😂 kkkk
Hayib 🤔
So we’d need to take ARVs to help fight corona. Okay!
Airborne aids, wow
This is scary
