Famotidine is a H2 blocker and present in Pepcid. This drug is used in peptic/ gastric ulcer disease. The Northwell Health system is tracking its effect on some 150 plus corona patients. There are certain drug classes that block the HIV replication. This class of drugs might show some benefit with COVID 19.This trial is hoping to have 1200 - 1500 patients All of the Northwell hospitals are participating in this trial
The trial is combining the Famotidine with hydroxyquinine ( Plaquenil) Remember chloroquinine is used to treat malaria and in some protocols for chronic Lyme. It does have some serious side effects.
We are over 1 million cases in the United States and more than 3 million worldwide. I would like to see the government studying some supplements/herbs that herbalists/ ND’s/ acupuncturists are using with their patients.
Until tomorrow….
