- nradov 5y agoThere 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.
