Meta analysis of 5 RCTs showing improved viral clearance with nitazoxanide. Mortality was lower, but without statistical significance.
2 meta-analyses show significant improvements with nitazoxanide for oxygen therapy1 and
viral clearance1,2.
Currently there are 14 nitazoxanide for COVID-19 studies, showing 42% lower mortality [-24‑73%], 82% lower ventilation [24‑96%], 28% lower ICU admission [-21‑57%], 61% lower hospitalization [22‑80%], and 13% fewer cases [-31‑42%].
