Ten people who were sick with Covid-19 may have found relief with a common over-the-counter heartburn remedy, according to a new study
Ten people who were home sick with Covid-19 may have found relief with a common over-the-counter heartburn remedy, according to a study published Thursday.
A coauthor of the study emphasized that it's a small group of patients. Even so, he said he was"encouraged" by the results and now plans to do a larger study with outpatients on famotidine, the over-the-counter ingredient in Pepcid. "We want to know, what's the best way to address these patients, and keep them out of the hospital and get them feeling better sooner," said Dr. Joseph Conigliaro, a physician at Northwell Health in New York and coauthor on the paper.
Interest in famotidine began when a Harvard infectious disease specialist, Dr. Michael Callahan, was working in China and noticed that some Covid patients were faring better than others. It turned out that these patients had heartburn and were low-income, which meant they were taking famotidine, which is less expensive than other reflux remedies.
