Famotidine – an antacid that is sold under the name Pepcid
The drug famotidine has been studied for several months as a possible drug to use in COVID-19 treatment. The drug, a common one taken by thousands of people for heartburn, is generally safe and relatively inexpensive.
According to Science Magazine, The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, released a statement Friday citing evidence it was helpful for COVID-19. However, the statement also said, “We have yet to prove [famotidine’s] efficacy.” The institute says it’s “eagerly awaiting” FDA approval of a trial that will evaluate whether famotidine can help people who are not hospitalized.
Vitamin D – a vitamin
According to several studies, people who have low levels of vitamin D in their bodies have worse outcomes after they contract the COVID-19. It is not clear that adding vitamin D to a treatment course once a patient has been infected does any good.
It is better to make sure you are not deficient in vitamin D before you potentially get the virus.
Zinc – a mineral present in the human body
Data also suggests patients with low levels of zinc in their blood fare worse with COVID-19 than those with normal levels. But again, there is no evidence that supplementing with zinc improves COVID-19 outcomes.

Pepcid, a Heartburn Medication, Helped Some COVID-19 Patients
“Trump has not been given hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug that the president touted as a drug that showed promise in the fight against COVID-19. Several studies have shown the drug has little effect on the virus, while some anecdotal evidence showed patients benefiting from the drug.
According to Conley, Trump asked about the drug, but it has not been given to him.”
川总得新冠，五天大翻转。到底何方神圣用了啥灵丹妙药？
这篇报道中比较详细地介绍了各种治疗用药。

临渊羡鱼，不如想辙自救，来个简版。
老川疗法中最值得一提的是：Famotidine （Pepcid），有效便宜的OTC；还有VD和锌。 随手可得，还不贵。买点备着，在家对付轻症。
那啥双抗、希望，咱老百姓高攀不起，可也不能自暴自弃。

自言自语：俺家没有Pepcid, 得赶紧去淘弄一盒存着。
小民惜命啊，得抓住每一根稻草。

最适合用羟奎的时间段是最初阶段的“上感”型，一旦进入到肺炎型或胃肠型就没啥用了。
但也不能轻视, 做好准备
重了去医院，血氧下降，compassion用的人民希望血氧立马恢复。
当时二月初米国上下还一片迷茫，还没有任何特效药。人民的希望是Gilead为其他病毒研发的，经过病人同意紧急用药，用完效果很好，这个病人很年轻，只有三十几岁。
这个试验药之后还给了国内江湖救急。当时国内reached out米国，问米国有什么药可用。Gilead说这个药可能最接近可能管用，但还没有FDA批准，尚在试验阶段。Gilead当时全世界买ingredients，加班加点做出来送到国内救急。这些消息都是Gilead工作的华裔员工自己透露的，收取的费用只是成本价。Gilead的CEO当时说：Patients first，我们关注的是病人是否康复。但之后发展比较狗血，国内抢注了人民的希望的使用patent。又因为政治原因，说人民的希望临床效果不好。
夫子列的这些药感染早期非常好，都是OTC，便宜易得有效。用在刚有轻微的症状时，如嗓子疼鼻塞，但还没发展为血氧低呼吸困难喘不上气需要去医院的地步，可以及早控制病毒在口腔漫延到肺部，预防肺部感染和炎症反应。川普也是因为发烧血氧降低，又是74岁老人，医生才决定紧急入院。如果他只是象第一夫人沒什么症状，没有发烧呼吸有点困难等症状，可能也不会紧急入院，担心症状继续加重。所以医生用药有预防恶化的目的。74岁老人，靠自己的免疫力抗的难度有点大。
就象夫子说的，其实一般感冒或流感，一有症状就吃一些夫子上述的药，能有效缩短感冒时间。等重了，根据个人体质和年龄等risk factor，有人要恢复就要花很长时间。
赞夫子在健坛一直给读者提供好的建议。
从你的第一个跟帖，就能感受到，就知道你是热爱和平，热爱祖国哒
但是，真的没有必要这样忒误解了你的网友。更何况你们还算是战友 妮
要想让人不误解，把骂人给人扣帽子的贴删了。咱热爱和平，但还是有原则和底线的。
多谢关心。
人家一声真诚的道歉，感人肺腑。。。
网管的武力删帖能与之相比吗
要是我理解错了，又骂了如此的狠话。我一定会给当事人直接道歉：抱歉，不好意思，理解错了，我收回我说的话。并把标题的狠话抹去，不让其他读者误解。
可能八千岁看到了这段“但之后发展比较狗血，国内抢注了人民的希望的使用patent。又因为政治原因，说人民的希望临床效果不好。”
看了后觉得不对劲，心里犯嘀咕，手下不留情。
这前一句，讲的是事实。武汉那个“所”抢注使用专利，的确让人不解。
后面一句，大约是推测。当时以行政令强推中药，使许多临床试验无法继续。最终没有达到预期的病例数，加上用药时机的选择错误，最后的统计结果不好。
（中国那时候都是有明显肺炎症状才收住院，才能得到那个药的治疗，已经错过了最佳用药时机）。
后来在其它国家进行的临床试验，也只证明了：早期开始使用，可以缩短病程，但没有救人于危难、起死回生之功效。
换句话说，就是“有用”，无“特效”，比鸡肋强点儿，还够不上猪肋牛排。
老川这次用得早，想必有帮助。
再次谢谢各位捧场，俺尽心尽力为大家服务。
秋天了，干干架，泄泄心火，去除烦燥。
晚上做点好吃的，睡个好觉。
自己身体好、心情好才是最重要的。
Sigh！
羟氯喹的作用是防止免疫因子风暴，川用了Dexamethasone, 也是针对免疫系统过度反应的。其次，Remdesivir对肝脏的负担比较大，而羟氯喹也增加肝脏负担，两种同时用，ALT和AST恐怕会快速飙高。我猜他入院的验血可能ALT and AST已经开始不正常了。
