Mga Doktor sa New York State ay nagbibigay ng massive doses ng Vitamin C sa kanilang mga critically ill coronavirus na pasyente, isang taktika na kanilang nakuha sa China.

Dr. Andrew Weber, isang pulmonologist at critical care specialist ay nagbahagi na siya ay nagbibigay kaagad sa kanyang intensive care patients ng 1,500 milligrams na intravenous vitamin c.

Ayon pa sa pahayag:

Those patients are then re-administered the doses of the powerful antioxidant three or four times a day, the doctor explained to the New York Post. 

Each dose is more than 16 times the daily dietary vitamin allowance of vitamin C advised from the National Institute of Health. 

For adult men, the allowance is 90 milligrams, with 75 milligrams recommended for women.

Dagdag pa ng Daily Mail:

The patients who received vitamin C did significantly better than those who did not get vitamin C,' he said. 'It helps a tremendous amount, but it is not highlighted because it's not a sexy drug.'

Jason Molinet, a spokesman for Northwell, said that Vitamin C is being 'widely used' as a coronavirus treatment throughout the health system. He noted, however, that the amount given to patients varies. 

'As the clinician decides,' Molinet added. 

Northwell Health is the state's largest healthcare provider, with 23 hospitals across New York. 

Dr Weber explained that the vitamin C is just one treatment being given to coronavirus patients. They have also received the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, the antibiotic azithromycin, as well as various biologics and blood thinners.

Patients with coronavirus who suffer sepsis - an inflammatory response that occurs when the body overreacts to the infection - suffer significant drops in vitamin C levels, said Weber.

'It makes all the sense in the world to try and maintain this level of vitamin C,' he added. 

A clinical trial into the effectiveness of intravenous vitamin C on patients with coronavirus started on February 14 at Zhongnan Hospital in Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the country's outbreak
