Coronavirus: Dexamethasone being used to treat NHS patients today
The researchers said this was equivalent to one life being saved for every eight patients on a ventilator and one life being saved for every 20-25 being treated with oxygen.Marium Zumeer was given the drug as part of the trial
Marium Zumeer, an 18-year-old from Bradford who was given the drug as part of the trial, said it had been"life-saving". She was admitted to hospital after 10 days of being extremely unwell, and after beginning a course of the drug she was told she would hopefully be home in a week.On Monday 15 June, 385 people with Covid-19 were on mechanical ventilation in hospitals in the UK with hundreds more likely to be on oxygen support.The drug works by dampening down the reaction of the body's immune system to on Covid-19, which can often be more harmful than the virus itself.
Chief investigator Prof Peter Horby said it was"the only drug so far that has been shown to reduce mortality - and it reduces it significantly".However, it should not be used to treat anyone with coronavirus who is not in hospital. Its use is still being studied in children. Already used to reduce inflammation in a range of other conditions, including arthritis, asthma and some skin conditions, the cost of the drug would be as little as £5 per patient.
