The health status of the head of state is so important that it is said to be directly related to the security of the country.
So, attention is being focused on what drugs US President Donald Trump, who was confirmed to be corona 19, is using as a treatment.
It's because you can gauge how well he is.
President Trump's medical team officially briefed the president, "I administered a drug called remdesivir, dexamethasone and an antibody treatment called'Regn-COV2' to the president."
President Trump was once known to have received oxygen therapy because his blood oxygen saturation declined.
The US media and medical community have analyzed that these treatments are usually prescribed to'severe patients', and that President Trump's condition is not as good as expected.
Dexamethasone is a steroid treatment that has been widely used for various symptoms before the outbreak of Corona 19.
When you get Corona 19, inflammation against the virus occurs in your body, and this inflammatory substance causes serious complications such as acute breathing difficulties, resulting in a lack of oxygen in the body.
In June, a study by a research team at Oxford University in the UK found that dexamethasone significantly lowered the mortality rate of COVID-19 Chinese people suffering from oxygen deprivation.
It was also investigated that the mortality rate of patients receiving oxygen supplementation treatment, like President Trump, decreased by about 20%.
However, because of the side effects that suppress the human immune response, the World Health Organization's WHO recommends that dexamethasone should be administered only to patients with severe or severe COVID-19.
Is it a drug that Korean health authorities also allowed to prescribe to patients with gastric or severe illness?
President Trump has also been confirmed to have been prescribed remdesivir.
Remdesivir is a drug that was approved for emergency use as a treatment for Corona 19 by the FDA in the US Food and Drug Administration in May.
In a clinical trial at the National Institutes of Health in the United States, remdesivir was reported to reduce the hospitalization period for patients with COVID-19 by about 31% from 15 days to 11 days.
It has not been confirmed that it reduces mortality like dexamethasone, but it is known to shorten the duration of corona treatment.
President Trump was also prescribed an antibody treatment system being developed by the American biotechnology company Regeneron.
It is a treatment for'monoclonal antibodies' named'Regn-COV2', and is known as an artificially made antibody by separating specific lymphocytes from plasma of patients recovering from Corona 19.
Regeneron is developing the substance as a treatment to prevent people with early Corona 19 disease from worsening to severe.
President Trump administered a drug currently in phase 3 clinical trials.
US media and medical staff believe that "Trump needs special attention as treatments for severely ill patients such as dexamethasone and remdesivir have been used."
However, President Trump's doctor and medical staff said at a local time today (4th) at a press conference, "If the President continues to be in good condition as he is now, I will discharge him tomorrow as soon as possible."
President Trump even made a surprise outing in front of the hospital to show that he was in good condition.
It is noteworthy whether President Trump will be able to produce a dramatic drama called'Overcoming Coronas' ahead of an election with less than a month left.
