Results from the RECOVERY trial: Low-cost (5€) dexamethasone reduces death by up to one third in hospitalised patients with severe respiratory complications of COVID-19.
BBC News: Dexamethasone is first life-saving coronavirus drug | A cheap and widely available drug called dexamethasone can help save the lives of patients who are seriously ill with coronavirus. Peter Horby: “This is the only drug so far that has been shown to reduce mortality – and it reduces it significantly. It’s a major breakthrough.” Martin Landray: “There is a clear, clear benefit. The treatment is up to 10 days of dexamethasone and it costs about £5 per patient. So essentially it costs £35 to save a life. This is a drug that is globally available.”
