SARS-CoV-2 infection is required for COVID-19, but many signs and symptoms of COVID-19 differ from common acute viral diseases. SARS-CoV-2 infection is necessary but not sufficient for development of clinical COVID-19 disease. Currently, there are no approved pre-or post-exposure prophylactic COVID-19 medical countermeasures. Clinical data suggest that famotidine may mitigate COVID-19 disease, but both mechanism of action and rationale for dose selection remain obscure. We have investigated several plausible hypotheses for famotidine activity including antiviral and host-mediated mechanisms of action. We propose that the principal mechanism of action of famotidine for relieving COVID-19 symptoms involves on-target histamine receptor H 2 activity, and that development of clinical COVID-19 involves dysfunctional mast cell activation and histamine release. Based on these findings and associated hypothesis, new COVID-19 multi-drug treatment strategies based on repurposing well-characterized drugs are being developed and clinically tested, and many of these drugs are available worldwide in inexpensive generic oral forms suitable for both outpatient and inpatient treatment of COVID-19 disease.

'abstract': '<jats:p>SARS-CoV-2 infection is required for COVID-19, but many signs and symptoms of '
'COVID-19 differ from common acute viral diseases. SARS-CoV-2 infection is necessary but not '
'sufficient for development of clinical COVID-19 disease. Currently, there are no approved '
'pre- or post-exposure prophylactic COVID-19 medical countermeasures. Clinical data suggest '
'that famotidine may mitigate COVID-19 disease, but both mechanism of action and rationale for '
'dose selection remain obscure. We have investigated several plausible hypotheses for '
'famotidine activity including antiviral and host-mediated mechanisms of action. We propose '
'that the principal mechanism of action of famotidine for relieving COVID-19 symptoms involves '
'on-target histamine receptor H<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> activity, and that development of '
'clinical COVID-19 involves dysfunctional mast cell activation and histamine release. Based on '
'these findings and associated hypothesis, new COVID-19 multi-drug treatment strategies based '
'on repurposing well-characterized drugs are being developed and clinically tested, and many '
'of these drugs are available worldwide in inexpensive generic oral forms suitable for both '
'outpatient and inpatient treatment of COVID-19 disease.</jats:p>',
