Prevention of the cytokine storm in COVID-19
Materia
Descripción
The Comment by Marc Feldman and colleagues,1 published recently in The Lancet, discussed the potential of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy to inhibit development of a cytokine storm in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Following this Comment, I write to propose that the opioid, meptazinol, might be a possible alternative or addition to anti-TNF therapy, particularly in the UK, where meptazinol is a licensed drug (current licenced supplier Almirall, Barcelona, Spain) and thus could be easily prescribed.
