6. Other drugs

We have also heard about other drugs, as well as supplements and vitamins, as possible solutions to COVID-19. As a matter of fact, some infected patients have tried high doses of vitamin C.

There’s no evidence that this works—there are only studies underway. For example, some Chinese researchers have registered a clinical trial to probe further into the effectiveness of IV vitamin C in hospitalized patients with Covid-19.

“What you’re seeing in a lot of these cases is we don’t have anything else to offer, so in the context of a clinical trial it’s worth testing most anything for which there would be a theoretical basis,” says Dr. Poland.

So, if you read or hear about a clinical trial and the possible effectiveness of vitamin C against COVID-19, that doesn’t mean you should run and shop for some lemons and supplements.

“Anything that pretends to be approved is automatically a scam at this point because nothing is approved,” says Dr. Poland. “The multibillion-dollar business of nutraceuticals, herbs, and supplements haven’t been able to demonstrate any efficacy with this particular infection.”
