Vitamin A for COVID-19
42nd treatment shown to reduce risk in June 2023, now with p = 0.021 from 14 studies.
Lower risk for recovery and cases.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments.
5,100+ studies for 112 treatments. c19early.org
Retrospective 120 cases showing that topical mometasone furoate, vitamin A, or intranasal theophylline shortened time to recovery from post-COVID-19 olfactory dysfunction compared to olfactory training alone. Final smell scores after four weeks were not significantly different between groups. Comorbidities significantly impacted recovery time.
Saleh et al., 19 Nov 2024, retrospective, Saudi Arabia, peer-reviewed, 4 authors.
