My name is amit and i’m from smart medical buyer and what a day it is to try and draw parallels between two of our generation’s deadliest diseases one that has killed millions of people over the last couple of decades and another that just came last year and has obliterated the entire world i am obviously talking about asthma and covet 19. and how ironical would
It be if the medication for one could actually try and cure the other you want to know more stay tuned hi welcome back now before we go ahead let’s understand something very carefully what is asthma asthma affects our lungs airways by creating inflammation inside our lungs small airway thereby not allowing air to pass through and creating what we call an
Asthma attack now it happens through various triggers like dust stress pollen and whey and a lot more the most common medication for asthma are inhalers which provide by transmitting the required medicines to our airways thus provide thus reducing inflammation and providing immediate relief so now there are two kinds of inhalers which we need to understand first
Is beta agnostics which basically provides an immediate relief however is not a great long-term solution because it does not treat the problem at its source the second are called corticosteroids now these are more long-term solution for the problem where it treats the inner lining of the airways thereby making them less susceptible to these triggers and that over
A period obviously reduces the chances of you having an asthma attack uh and hence it is considered to be a more kind of long term and a more uh approved way of treating asthma for the longer now ever since covet 19 came into the picture we have been fighting tooth and nail trying to figure out a way to control its spread and not just that alongside this we have
Been trying to ex we have been trying any kind of experiment with a lot of other drugs which could reduce the symptoms of povet 19 and also obviously try and reduce the death rates that we have been seeing with the disease uh but a little success but that’s just until now because finally we have started to see some interesting results from the trials that has been
Conducted by the oxford university over the use of corticosteroids in covet 19 patients let’s take a look now if i have to summarize this study it would be something like this people who took budasinite during the initial symptom stages of kobe 19 had a very very reduced risk of being hospitalized at any point of time during their uh during their sickness and had
A reduced recovery time which is the most interesting of it of them all of uh from kobe 19. so effectively the average that they figured was somewhere around nine days for a patient who was going through a regular uh uh regular process uh while somebody who had taken budasai from when the initial uh symptoms suffered that patient actually recovered within seven
To eight days so there was a good one one and a half day difference between the two averages which is which is actually more interesting because it means that the drug actually in some way also reduces uh or rather treats the the sickness in some way or the other what exactly none of us know yet but it that at least the results say that there is some amount of
Difference now we must understand why is this happening uh and how does this medicine actually work what this medicine does as explained earlier is that it allows the airways to remain broader right and what happens when the airways remain broader for a longer period more oxygen goes in right and that’s the problem that we have been facing when a patient takes
Glutamine their airways remain open for longer period are less irritable so instead of requiring pure oxygen the regular amount the regular air that our bodies actually inhale would be enough and that can make a huge difference in the scenario that we have been seeing around us right now now going back to the data from the studies conducted so far there has been
A drop of about 75 percent in the number of patients that have gone ahead and become critically ill after uh being exposed to this drug and additionally there has been a drop of 15 percent in the recovery rate in the total number of days of these patients these are great numbers to have however this is just a clinical trial the drug hasn’t been actively used in
Population yet now i understand this is exciting news finally we have something that can be taken during the initial stages of covet 19 and that can possibly keep us and our loved ones stable for a longer period without requiring them to go to hospital at any point during the entire government 19 period on top of that something like this if it were if it were to
Deliver the required results this not only allows us to to know that we and our loved ones are safer but also immensely reduces the amount of pressure that our healthcare system has been under now this is a widely available low price medicine that is relatively safe however as is the case with most medications buddhasonite must not be taken without proper medical
Prescriptions after all it’s a steroid that can have varying factors of long-term effects on our bodies uh in terms of short-term effects the short-term side effects include nasal irritation sore throat nausea and and certain other smaller kind of irritations that we have its long-term side effects on non-asthma patients are not yet known for obvious reasons
However given the diet situation we currently find ourselves in the indian government has rightly allowed the usage of buddhisonite in mild covet cases and that should ideally if the if the test and its results are anything to go by that should allow us to see a drop in the number of seriously ill patients of povert 19 that we have been seeing for the past few
Weeks so let’s just stay in those for a few more weeks and see if this real world if this cure works in real world situations and if we might have found a vital weapon to fight this battle so if you like this video do press the like button below if you would like to see more such content press the subscribe button and press the bell icon so you know when we upload
