Focus on early treatment. Drugs like ivermectin, hcq, fluvoxamine

  Ivermectin and hcq do nothing for covid. No idea what fluvoxamine is.

    I hope you or someone close to you never get as desperate as I was. Saved my life.

    It's an antidepressant. I don't think it has any effect on COVID, either proven or rumoured.

      There have been several small studies which show fluvoxamine is an effective COVID-19 treatment. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=covid+fluvoxamine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=covid+fluvoxamine Results are still somewhat preliminary and it isn't formally approved for that use but I know that many physicians are prescribing it off label and report positive results. The safety profile is good as a temporary acute treatment so there's little reason not to use it.

        Huh I hadn't heard of that yet. I wonder if the same goes for other SSRIs. It's a pretty big class.
