Trump Gets Antiviral Cocktail As Symptoms Worsen

The Associated Press reports:

A memo from Trump’s physician said he received a cocktail of drugs from Regeneron. A separate report says he has a low-grade fever.

Just this week Regeneron said its trial antiviral drug cocktail — named REGN-COV2 — reduced the coronavirus load and the time needed to ease symptoms in non-hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

The “greatest improvements” were in patients “who had not mounted their own effective immune response prior to treatment,” Regeneron said. The doctor said Trump is also taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin.

NBC News: President Trump is being treated with an 8 gram dose of Regeneron’s polyclonal antibody cocktail, his doctor says.

NBC’s @HallieJackson & @carolelee report he has a low-grade fever. His doctor says he is “fatigued but in good spirits”.
