In patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 managed without hospital admission, adding azithromycin to standard care treatment did not reduce the risk of
Evidence suggests that azithromycin has antiviral activity in bronchial epithelial cells, together with anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory effects

We recommend formal clinical trials of azithromycin in its prepackaged form at the first sign of COVID‐19 infection in adults and children, using an initial adult dose of
Although the preponderance of evidence indicates that there is no benefit of hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of COVID-19, fewer studies have evaluated
The researchers found that, for every 100,000 pregnancies, an oral dose of azithromycin prevented 1,592 cases of maternal sepsis, death, or infection and 249
Of these 11 patients, one died, two were transferred to intensive care and one developed a prolongation of QT interval and interrupted the
Introduction
The RECOVERY Trial from the University of Oxford is a large, randomized, controlled, open-label study evaluating a number of potential treatments for patients hospitalized with
This first retrospective case series study of COVID-19 outpatients was done to show whether (i) a simple-to-perform outpatient risk stratification might allow for a rapid treatment decision shortly after onset of symptoms and (ii) whether the 5-day triple therapy with zinc, low-dose HCQ and azithromycin might result in fewer hospitalisations Azithromycin 500 mg is commonly used in primary care for bacterial respiratory infections and is similar to the dose used in early studies for COVID-19
Our approach to hospital management evolves rapidly as clinical data emerge
Results
Ivermectin is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved antiparasitic drug used to treat several neglected tropical diseases, including onchocerciasis, helminthiases, and scabies
For the azithromycin evaluation, outpatients ≥65 years old and those ≥50 years old with ≥1 comorbidity with
This study evaluates the risk of QT prolongation and subsequent outcomes after administration of these medications in largely underrepresented minority
Azithromycin is used to treat certain bacterial infections in many different parts of the body
Results from a recent trial for COVID
Closely monitored clinical trials will be needed to confirm that high‐dose HCQ is safe with or without azithromycin
