Journal, Real-world evidence, Real-world: Real-world prescription of anti-COVID-19 drugs in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in Japan. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 30, 2024 A prescribed drug would depend on the latest scientific evidence, such as efficacy, safety, and approval status, at the time of prescription. Understanding the prescription of anti-COVID-19 drugs will be important for providing the most up-to-date treatments to patients and evaluating the benefit and/or risk of anti-COVID-19 drugs based on the utilization of an electronic medical record database.

Review, Journal: Obesity and its Relationship with Covid-19: A Review of the Main Pharmaceutical Aspects. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 23, 2024 Several drugs have been suggested to control COVID- 19 like Lopinavir, Ritonavir, Ribavirin, Sofosbuvir, Remdesivir, Oseltamivir, Oseltamivir phosphate, Oseltamivir carboxylate, Hydroxychloroquine, Chloroquine, Azithromycin, Teicoplanin, Tocilizumab, Anakinra, Methylprednisolone, Prednisolone, Ciclesonide and Ivermectin...Additionally, different aspects make the obese population more prone to persistent symptoms of the disease (long COVID), which makes understanding these mechanisms fundamental to addressing the implications of the disease. Thus, this review provides an overview of the relationship between COVID-19 and obesity, considering aspects related to pharmacokinetics, immunosuppression, immunization, and possible implications of long COVID in these individuals.

Lastly, the management of NOAF in these patients has not been extensively studied. Nevertheless, the current guidelines for NOAF in non-COVID ICU patients appear to be effective, while accounting for the specific drugs used in COVID-19 treatment that may prolong the QT interval (although drugs like lopinavir/ritonavir, hydrochlorothiazide, and azithromycin have been discontinued) or induce bradycardia (e.g., remdesivir).

Clinical, Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Efficacy and Safety of Novel Oral Antivirals in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients: A Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 7, 2023 We searched for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on the efficacy and safety of novel oral antivirals for the treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients until November 30, 2022, including baricitinib, ivermectin (IVM), favipiravir (FVP), chloroquine (CQ), lopinavir and ritonavir (LPV/RTV), hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin (HCQ+AZT)...IVM appeared to be a safer option than placebo in improving recovery time, while FVP was associated with increased SpO2 safety outcomes. These preliminary evidence-based observations should guide clinical practice until more data are made public.
