dexamethasone

Wonder if dexamethasone has similar effect - felt much younger when it was prescribed to me for brain swelling.

Finding out dexamethasone worked and that covid wasn’t as bad as sars or mers helped things stabilize.

What about the research surrounding high dose vit C, thiamine, dexamethasone or whatever that concoction was?

Also using steroids like dexamethasone were a later advent in treating covid that helped a lot.

Also, Covid-useful items like masks, hand-sanitizer, dexamethasone and ventilators weren’t in the typical prepper inventory (but maybe social distancing was!).

Perhaps it's the very fact that dexamethasone was useful (and therefore used) that explains why you never hear about it.

Patent-free treatments were extensively tested and some (notably dexamethasone) were put into treatment regimens for a while but none proven effective.

It got to the point where people were rejecting legitimate treatments (ie: Dexamethasone + Monoclonal Antibodies) and asking doctors for IVM.

It's also that treatment with dexamethasone may be dangerous in patients with preexisting Strongyloides infections.

Umm, if cytokine storm wasn't what was putting people at risk, how did dexamethasone have such a powerful affect keeping people alive.

Whenever Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin came up in a stupid discussion, I'd pivot the discussion towards Dexamethasone and Monoclonal antibodies.

BA.5 and other variants are showing resistance to many Monoclonal Antibodies) Dexamethasone studies, even in April 2020, showed a 50% reduction in death rates.

No one cared if it was "hydroxychloroquine" or "dexamethasone", these are all just giant chemical that few people memorize.

The correct answer for Ivermectin was "Hey, we have this test with Dexamethasone + Monoclonal antibodies that showed efficacy over 3000 people.

Not only did we know that Dexamethasone + Monoclonal antibodies worked, we also had 3 competing vaccines and the "Pfizer anti-viral pill".

Remember “dexamethasone” if a cytokine storm hits.

Dexamethasone prescribed for swelling probably means it also works on removing fluids from the brain, similar to the drug described in the article.

Dexamethasone is orally available too but the general wisdom is that it's better used as a targeted injection.

Dexamethasone and Monoclonal Antibodies did the job and did it properly (saving lives long before vaccines were developed).
