President Trump's physicians are giving him several different treatments -- including investigational drugs -- in the hope of relieving his Covid-19 symptoms and possibly shorten his course of illness.
As some experts put it, doctors are throwing"the kitchen sink" at him.While many questions remain about the President's condition and when he was first diagnosed with the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, here is what has been revealed so far about what he was been treated with -- and when.
What is the drug Remdesivir? 00:56In May, remdesivir became the first therapy drug issued an emergency use authorization for Covid-19 in the United States.The FDA originally authorized the emergency use of remdesivir for Covid-19 in May, but only to treat patients with severe coronavirus who needed extra oxygen or mechanical ventilation to help their breathing.
This drug reduces risk of death in severe Covid-19 patients, trial suggests 01:18The National Institutes of Health says in its guidelines on treating coronavirus infections that"patients with severe Covid-19 can develop a systemic inflammatory response that can lead to lung injury and multisystem organ dysfunction." Based on the results of this one trial, the NIH panel of experts recommended giving dexamethasone to Covid-19 patients who need oxygen.
As for aspirin, the over-the-counter drug can help reduce the risk of blood clotting -- and evidence has shown that Covid-19 can trigger the formation of blood clots in some patients. Studies at Xijing Hospital in China and Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans are investigating possible effects aspirin could have in Covid-19 patients.It's not clear what dose of aspirin Trump was taking and whether he had already been taking it.
