The leaders of the
RECOVERY drug trial in the UK, who are testing the effects of many existing drugs on COVID-19 patients, have announced that the drug
dexamethasone, which is very cheap (for now) and available in most countries (including ours), has been
experimentally proven to reduce the risk of death of people with
severe cases of the Coronavirus disease.
They administered
6mg of dexamethasone daily
(by tablet or by injection) to 2104 COVID-19 patients for ten days.
After 28 days, they compared the results of this treatment to the normal
treatment which 4321 other patients received. They discovered that the
drug reduces the risk of death in patients who are on oxygen or on the
ventilator.
* For patients who were so sick that they had to be
placed on a ventilator, dexamethasone reduced their risk of death from
40% to 28%. For every 8 COVID-19 patients on the ventilator treated with
this drug, 1 additional life was saved.
* For patients sick
enough to be placed on oxygen, the risk of death dropped by from 25% to
20%. For every 25 patients on oxygen treated, 1 additional life was
saved.
* For patients who were not sick enough to be placed on
oxygen or a ventilator, the researchers did not observe any significant
improvement.
