"Oleander Extract for COVID-19? Expert Says "No"
Oleandrin, a toxic cardiac glycoside found in the poisonous oleander plant, is making headlines as a potential treatment for COVID-19 infection, raising concerns that uninformed people may eat the leaves of the plant and become ill or die.
Onset of toxicity occurs several hours after consumption, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea (which may contain blood), and loss of appetite may be initial signs of oleandrin poisoning, Medscape Medical News reports.
Poisoning can affect the heart as well as the central nervous system, as evidenced by drowsiness, tremors, seizures, and coma leading to death.
According to Axios , President Donald J. Trump recently met with Phoenix Biotechnology's director, whose company manufactures oleandrin. The president reportedly "expressed enthusiasm" about the extract. Although the product has been evaluated in in vitro studies, it's a far cry from test tube to human, one expert cautions."
