Yet another option for COVID treatment, Cochicine, a gout/arthritis medication.

A gout drug shows promise for Covid-19, but skeptics worry about trusting science by press release

Outside experts said the data, provided by press release, were too limited to draw conclusions, though they hoped that colchicine, a generic medicine with manageable side effects, would prove to be beneficial for Covid-19.

Do you need a prescription for Colchicine in DR or is it readily available over the counter?

That's interesting. I was prescribed colchicine to treat pericarditis caused by the coxsackie virus. It's a very effective anti-inflammatory.

I'm curious what the price for colchicine is in the DR. The price per pill increased from 9 cents to 5 dollars per pill in the US. Ouch
