Safety & Efficacy of Low Dose Aspirin / Ivermectin Combination Therapy for Treatment of Covid-19 Patients

Summary

COVID-19, caused by the novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARSCoV-2), has become a global pandemic. Fortunately, most of the COVID-19 cases confirmed are categorized as mild for whom home- based symptomatic management with monitoring of clinical deterioration is recommended. Despite providing symptomatic management, a therapeutic drug that would limit the course of infection is greatly needed to stop COVID-19 disease progression. Considering the current SARS-CoV-2 epidemiology and the legitimate rash towards appropriate therapies, our study seeks to evaluate the safety and efficacy of low dose aspirin and ivermectin combination therapy in COVID-19 patients.
