Oral Medication To Decrease Mortality In Severe COVID-19? Baricitinib!

In this video we will discuss a medication that is recommended by the NIH in severe COVID-19 called Baricitinib. This is an oral medication recommended for those requiring high amounts of oxygen with COVID-19 pneumonia. We discuss what this medication is, how it works, and what it is traditionally used to treat. We then dive into the evidence behind using this medication in COVID-19 including the two main trials, ACTT-2 and COV-BARRIER. We comb through these trials including the pros and cons of each. Check out the video for all of these details and more!
