Inhalers that 'treat Covid-19 patients at home' to be rolled out in nationwide trial.

[2greys]

Brits in the early stages of Covid-19 will be given an inhaler which sprays an experimental drug into their lungs as part of a nationwide trial.

Scientists hope the nebuliser will stop people from entering a rapid deterioration phase and enable the immune system to fight off the infection at home.

The trial was launched by the University of Southampton and initially only people living within a 40 mile radius, who had tested positive though an official channel, could take part to allow the SNG-001 drug to be administered within 72 hours.

This sounds very interesting. If this reduces the virus to a mild flu type illness that would be good news.

Also great news, hope all these new findings work well for everyone.

Isn’t this the same drug? Interferon beta. It’s had and still having trials re copd ( to reduce flare ups and prevent viral infections)

I was looking for a trial near me last year.

Yes one and the same drug. But a different trial.
