Athanasios Dimopoulos, professor of the Athens Medical School and EKPA rector, said on SKAI TV channel that drugs to prevent blood clots will soon appear.
He personally announced new therapies to prevent thrombosis, as well as improve support for patients in need of ventilators and suppress inflammation and complications from COVID-19.
Investigations into the development of drugs for the coronavirus are in full swing, Mr Dimopoulos said.
“There are therapeutic developments in the treatment of the disease. We want to use antiviral drugs to stop the virus from multiplying, but at this stage, the focus is on stopping inflammation with corticosteroids or other drugs that prevent or reduce the body’s inflammatory response, which leads to very serious consequences in some patients, ”the specialist said.
“All known therapeutic approaches are already in use, and over time we see an improvement in the prognosis of patients undergoing treatment,” added Mr Dimopoulos.
Regarding vaccination, the professor noted the importance of mass vaccination with the opening of the platform for people aged 30-39 years. This will create in the next two months the opportunity to build herd immunity and will finally get rid of the coronavirus.
