Great find zho!

"The antibody therapy would confer instant immunity against the disease and could be given as an emergency treatment to hospital inpatients and care home residents to help contain outbreaks."

"The drug has been developed by UCLH and AstraZeneca, the pharmaceutical company that has also, along with Oxford University, created a vaccine that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is expected to approve for use in Britain next week."

"The drug involves a long-acting antibody combination known as AZD7442, which has been developed by AstraZeneca. Rather than antibodies produced by the body to help fight an infection, AZD7442 uses monoclonal antibodies, which have been created in a laboratory."

British scientists are trialling a new drug [developed by UCLH and AstraZeneca] that could prevent someone who has been exposed to coronavirus from going on to develop the disease Covid-19, which experts say could save many lives.

I think you need to tell that to most or the population living in fear, and assuming everyone and anyone has the plague, maybe they now need seroquel

[wipo1] 24/12/2020 17:07

Thanks, good luck

[wipo1] 24/12/2020 16:55

What are you on about?

[goldencrosskiss] 24/12/2020 16:37

Wipo1, You need to grow up or man up. Your choice.

[essentialinvestor] 24/12/2020 15:40

It's an antipsychotic medication, perhaps the most challenging area to treat on
the mood disorder spectrum.

Wipo, good luck whatever your decision.

It's a case of ASAP for me.

Benzos and opiates have more common riskier side effects such as addiction and drowsiness which is why they are pointed out. Of course it depends again what condition you are using it for and if the benefits outweigh the risk. In my opinion statins and vaccines have so much benefit compare to the potential side effects but thats up to personal choice.

[wipo1] 24/12/2020 15:30

That's exactly my point, doctors will quickly hit out with guidelines and side effects not to give out benzos or z drugs but not with statins or vaccines

[sheunghim] 24/12/2020 15:04

Thats a personal choice which all of us will respect. No one will force you. Im just making sure everyone should be informed of the right resources and advice in order for them to make an informed decision themselves.

[wipo1] 24/12/2020 15:00

Oh well I know all very well about side effects from these drugs and vaccines, so I do not trust anyone.

[sheunghim] 24/12/2020 14:51

I cant go through all the common medicines and list you the side effects but we are trained to not scare and tell every patient the rare side effects. We only advise on the most common and relevant. For statins we would have said unexplained muscle aches which is a more important sign of rhabdolomylosis, and it does not affect yoir blood sugars commonly. You can go on the eMC or the MHRA website to look at the SPC rather than listing a page worth. Even better go access the BNF for the simple summary. As i said its up to the you to choose but most drugs have many potential side effects which outweighs the benefits. Also yes it is a legal obligation for a drug to get licencing to list ALL side effects on the SPC (including rare). What you talking about is the PIL which will not have much detail. Look up the SPC if you want to know, eMC website has access to most.

[wipo1] 24/12/2020 14:35

All the so called rare side effects are on all the lefleats you get with medication, have you heard of seroquel? Have a look at the listed side effects lol

[wipo1] 24/12/2020 14:33

Haha you will not publish the list, have you heard of GBS? I notice you pick on paracetamol and ibuprofen, what about statins that can increase blood sugar level, do you tell patients that? Thought not

[sheunghim] 24/12/2020 14:08

Yes well aware of the yellow card scheme that is reported to the MHRA. Do you also know medical professionals can and should report side effects with the yellow card scheme too (though we are often too busy to do so). Everyone knows the common side effects of a flu vaccine (achy arms/muscles and potential fever). I think you will struggle to find a doctor or medical professional who can give you the rare side effects because its so rare and there are literally about 20 or more possible side effects with every drug (and there are 100s or 1000s or drugs). Look at the SPC as I said. Its up to you if you dont trust the MHRA or us with a medical opinion. Does your doctor tell you all the rare side effects in the SPC before you take them? You wouldnt take paracetamol if you knew it can affect your liver or ibuprofen and aspirin if it can cause GI bleeds? Thats because those are the rarer side effects

[wipo1] 24/12/2020 09:54

Reported side effects are only registered if the patient does a yellow card report, if you tell the doctor he does not report it

[wipo1] 24/12/2020 09:51

So you work in the medical field so can you tell me ALL the side effects list you have for the flu vaccine? Answer quick without looking up the Internet, if not then I know you don't

[sheunghim] 24/12/2020 09:34

Actually paracetamol is used more worldwide and has more reported side effects. Same with ibuprofen. Just because you dont know doesnt mean it doesnt exist. I do work in the medical field so do have knowledge of such things. If its approved by the MHRA it will be safe and benefits outweogh risks

[alphorn] 24/12/2020 09:13

....and the potential consequences for other people that they meet.

[wipo1] 24/12/2020 07:42

Paracetamol and vaccines are not a good companion for side effects, I don't know anyone who has had side effects on paracetamol but lots who have taken flu vaccine, if you think the benefits of covid vaccines outweigh the risks then go for it, but I am well under 65 and my gut feeling when I go outside into the real world it looks a lot different from the BBC news so I have enough medication to take so vaccine not for me, it should be up to person.
