All drugs have side effects. Novel coronavirus pneumonia is a new serious infectious disease, and further experience is needed in the understanding and treatment of this disease. Some drugs have been found to have some therapeutic effect against novel coronavirus pneumonia, whether in the early, middle, or late stages, and valuable drugs have been found so far. In addition to the therapeutic effect, all drugs have some side effects. For patients the therapeutic effect is the primary concern, and side effects are a secondary issue. Doctors will weigh the choice of a more effective drug with fewer side effects based on the patient’s condition. Content source: Dr. You Lai
