THREAD: Evidence for oseltamivir for #influenza prevention
1/6 Not much #flu last year, yet almost 14,000 BC residents were prescribed #oseltamivir (Tamiflu) for prevention

2/6 #Oseltamivir for prevention reduces ↘️ symptomatic influenza by 3%, (NNT=33) with an uncertain effect on asymptomatic #influenza
It likely has a central symptom reducing effect but may not reduce viral transmission

3/6 #Oseltamivir won’t reduce the risk of developing influenza-like illness though it can make people feel better (i.e. fewer symptoms) and reduces ↘️ fever
There is not enough evidence to say it prevents death, hospitalizations, or flu complications

1st Point: 90000+ Medical papers on Covid. UNFORTUNATELY, big divergence in Observational Studies impact and Real World impact of a rigorous RCT

RCT is Randomized controlled trial.
A Good website is Covid19Primer.com
2) What Works ?
(A) Steroids are essential. #DEXAMETHASONE 6mg/day for Critically ill Covid Patients. Reduces Death by 33/20% for Patients on Ventilators & Oxygen.

MEDICAMENTOS PARA #COVID19
Desde diciembre 2019 que se reportó el primer caso de infección por #SARS_CoV_2, han surgido un sinfín de tratamientos para esta infección.
¿Pero cual tiene suficiente evidencia científica?

Empecemos por dejar en claro varios puntos:
•#COVID19: Enfermedad provocada por la infección #SARSCoV2.
•#SARSCoV2: Nuevo tipo de #coronavirus que por sus siglas en inglés se refiere a 𝘴𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘺𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝟸

Es decir, puedes tener la infección pero no desarrollar la enfermedad.
Esto es importante para entender la clasificación los @NIH para la infección por #SARSCoV2:
1.- Asintomático
2.- Cuadro leve
3.- Cuadro moderado
4.- Cuadro severo
5.- Cuadro criticó

#Remdesivir begins distribution in the #USA today via #EUA.
I thought would write down some practical #tips based on my #qualitative anecdotal experience after personally treating close to 200 patients with #COVID19.
For quantitative results, wait for the papers¬—thread

“this juice works, doc!” When you hear similar expressions 1-2 days after starting #remdesivir multiple times, you start to wonder. Don't recall a similar proportion of patients smile after feeling so sick 1-2 days earlier with #COVID19. x/n? Wait for the papers.
Like #treatment for any severe infectious disease (meningitis, Gram-negative bacteremia, influenza pneumonia, etc), earlier is always better. #COVID19 is no different. #Remdesivir stops #SARS-CoV2 replication, but won’t heal the lung injury.
1) We are going to breakdown what these meds are here.

They have 2 of these boxes. This is a herbal medicine.
Interestingly studies show it to be more effective for treating flu.
