Antiviral medications: Remdesivir was one of the antiviral drugs used to treat COVID-19. It worked by inhibiting the replication of the virus in the body.
Corticosteroids: Dexamethasone and other corticosteroids were used in severe cases to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms of cytokine storm, which is an exaggerated immune response that can cause harm.
Monoclonal antibodies: Certain monoclonal antibodies, like bamlanivimab and casirivimab/imdevimab, were used for high-risk patients early in their infection to help neutralize the virus and reduce the severity of the disease.
Immunomodulators: Tocilizumab, an immunomodulator, was used in some severe cases to suppress the excessive immune response and reduce inflammation.
Please remember that the situation might have changed since my last update, and there may be additional treatments available or changes in treatment protocols based on ongoing research and clinical trials. It's crucial to rely on the latest information from health authorities and medical experts for the most current and effective treatments for COVID-19.
