But experts tell us there’s a catch when it comes to this drug.
10 Investigates’ Jennifer Titus spoke with the director of inpatient COVID Care at Tampa General Hospital, and he says the drug is really only effective if a patient gets it early on in their battle with coronavirus.
“Patients that come along 10, 15 or 20 days, they are more at an inflammatory phase at that point, not a viral phase.
