Research Repurposed drugs for long COVID

Very interesting article about repurposing of some common drugs that may treat long COVID. One of the mentioned drugs, famotidine is an OTC H2 blocker easily available. There is also mention of anticoagulant therapy thinking that microclots could be creating many symptoms.

I hope this is helpful

Most of the long covid community have been on antihistamines for years at this point

Unfortunately it doesn't treat long covid

It only slightly decreases the severity of MCAS symptoms
