Covid-19: Angola takes a cautious approach towards the use of dexamethasone as a wonder drug for the deadly virus.

In Angola, the announced benefits of dexamethasone have a cautious approach, although the Minister of Health, Silvia Lutucuta, does not put aside the possibility of the drug being used.

A pharmacist displays a box of Dexamethasone. Dexamethasone is a generic steroid widely used in other diseases to reduce inflammation.

COVID-19: ANGOLA TEM ABORDAGEM CAUTELOSA NO USO DA DEXAMETASONA

Em Angola, os anunciados benefícios da Dexametasona têm abordagem cautelosa, embora a ministra da Saúde, Sílvia Lutucuta, não ponha de parte a possibilidade de o fármaco ser usado.

Na última quinta-feira, na habitual conferência de imprensa para a actualização dos dados da pandemia, a governante admitiu que a Dexametasona é um corticoide muito usado, também, em medicina. Mas, no seu entender, deve ser utilizado em situações muito específicas, por ser um estabilizador de membrana.

“É um bom anti-inflamatório, mas tem alguns efeitos colaterais, em situações muito específicas em que é necessário o uso de corticoide. Quando for necessário, vamos usá-la em situações desta natureza”, salientou.
Sílvia Lutucuta, que reagiu à experiência britânica no uso da Dexametosana, disse que os bons resultados de outros devem ser seguidos.
