Following on from your post SOG. I appreciate treatments have been discussed. Pill or via a nebuliser. I note GSK who produce asthma inhalers are noting its impact on the environment. I further note they actually produce a 'dry powder' inhaler which is common in Scandinavia but not UK or US.
I then bring into discussion il 6 which I find rather intriguing. This is an extract from The Lancet 26th June 2021. Just putting it out there but is it possible nebuliser administration of a treatment might be something we add value to re covid treatment?
Currently, the guideline strongly recommends the use of anticoagulation in all patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19, and strongly recommends the use of systemic corticosteroids in all patients admitted to hospital who require supplementary oxygen or ventilatory support. Conditional recommendations were made for IL-6 receptor antagonist monoclonal antibody therapies only for patients in hospital with COVID-19 requiring oxygen or ventilatory support who have received corticosteroids, and for use of high flow nasal oxygen or continuous positive airway pressure in patients with hypoxaemic respiratory failure. Currently the guidelines strongly recommend against the use of hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir–ritonavir, and makes conditional recommendations against the use of azithromycin, colchicine, interferon beta, and remdesivir (eg, the guideline recommends not to offer remdesivir to patients in hospital with COVID-19 who require invasive mechanical ventilation, but make no recommendations regarding when remdesivir could be used).
Just a further point for perusal re Sareums treasure chest.
