Interesting that ivermectin is being used for critical patients.
Just part of the article:
While earlier HCQS + Azithromycin was the main therapy, now in consultation with the COVID-19 task force, the doctors are adding other therapies.
“We are observing an increase in ferritin levels, interleukin 6 and an increase in D-dimer in critical patients and hence every critical patient is getting Heparin and methyl prednisolone.”
Heparin is used for prevention in blood clots, a condition increasingly seen in critical COVID-19 patients.
A few critical COVID-19 patients have also been put on monoclonal antibody Tocilizumab (used for auto-immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis) and Dr Khobragade says 3 out of 5 critical patients responded well, although the high price of the drug limits its usage.
“With the incoming monsoons, we have also added antibiotics like Doxycycline in our treatment protocol and an anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin is also being added for critical patients,” he says.
