Claim: The list of tablets to be taken when infected with COVID-19.
Fact-check: The COVID-19 medication in this list should only be taken after Doctor's advice - FACTLY
Verdict: the antibiotics mentioned in the list require a doctor's prescription. doctor's advice is needed before taking these antibiotics. ivermectin is no longer recommended by icmr; it has been removed from the clinical guidelines revised in september 2021. recently, over 30 doctors have written an open letter to the central and state governments saying that certain medications and diagnostics are inappropriate for the clinical management of covid-19. "the prescribing of vitamin combinations, azithromycin, doxycycline, hydroxychloroquine, favipiravir and ivermectin for treating covid-19 is irrational practice." infections like mucormycosis, aspergillosis are attributed to 'widespread abuse of inappropriate medications.' doctor's advice is recommended before taking any medicines for tackling covid-19. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
