Social networks are “crowded” with stories of people who have had the coronavirus, and with them recipes for the home treatment of COVID-19.
Many people prefer to seek remote help or post their prescribed treatments to help future patients.
However, according to experts and doctors, these “remote” prescriptions only lead to chaos, panic and unnecessary drug storage, Monitor reports.
The Pharmacy Owners Association notes that there are already deficits. However, so far the state has not identified any problems.
“Unfortunately, some deficiencies have already started to appear and are directly related to the COVID-19 disease. There are 3 groups of drugs that are more or less deficient. First, there are antithrombotic drugs, which are actively used both in the hospital setting and for treatment at home. For example, fraxiparin, for example klexan, “explained the president of the Association of Pharmacy Owners Nikolay Kostov.
By damaging blood vessels, the virus increases the risk of blood thrombosis.
Therefore, to prevent possible complications in more serious cases, antiplatelet drugs are prescribed.
The other group that is also used for this disease are corticosteroids, which also form a deficiency. Corticosteroids are prescribed when the immune system is depleted and reacts inappropriately. They prevent an overactive immune response. They advise GPs not to prescribe them too early, because in people with mild illnesses they can do more harm than good.
“The third group of drugs that I think the problem is minor because they are very interchangeable, there are many synonyms, they are antibiotics. Antibiotics are missing at the moment. Two or three basic antibiotics are missing, but they are replaceable, so there is no big problem” Kostov said.
However, these drugs are not lacking due to excess stocks, but because the number of infected is increasing and their use for home treatment. They are prescribed only with a prescription.
Patients are admitted to the hospital with fewer symptoms, although a referral is issued for a free PCR test as directed for fever, cough, severe fatigue, loss of taste and smell, shortness of breath, muscle aches, and lower oxygen saturation. 92%.
“Patients are admitted to the hospital with fewer symptoms. If we wait for all five symptoms, it will be too late to separate them at home, they will have spread the infection for a long time,” said Dr. Gergana Nikolova, a board member of the Bulgarian Medical Union.
