There is no need to change the treatment regimens for coronavirus in patients with the Omicron strain, and patients are treated with the same drugs and according to the same rules. Andrey Pozdnyakov, an infectious disease specialist, head physician of the clinical diagnostic laboratory of Invitro-Siberia LLC, spoke about this in an interview with RIA Novosti.
According to him, “despite the new and frightening letter of the Greek alphabet in the history of the pandemic of the most famous disease 2020-2022, the following can be said about therapy: nothing changes.”
As Pozdnyakov noted, “for mild forms of the disease, which are the majority, symptomatic therapy is used: a regimen, an easily digestible diet, an abundant fluid load and drugs that, if necessary, relieve the symptoms of this disease.”
“In the treatment of moderate and severe forms, the following are consistently added: local and systemic glucocorticosteroids, anticoagulants, monoclonal antibodies, and so on. There are no changes in therapeutic tactics depending on the strain that caused the disease in a particular patient, ”the doctor said.
He also stated that the course of the disease with the Omicron strain, which is increasingly being detected in Russia, is “somewhat easier” for adults than with previous strains.
According to Pozdnyakov, “the Omicron strain also causes the disease in previously vaccinated people, but in the vast majority of cases it occurs in a mild or completely erased form and does not require any therapeutic measures other than symptomatic treatment.”
“The history of the development of COVID-19, caused by the omicron, is evidence of this. It develops rapidly, displacing the “delta”, there are many sick people, few hospitalized, the percentage of severe forms is low. I would like the same to be with us, ”concluded the specialist.
Recall also that earlier, immunologist Nikolai Kryuchkov told Vechernaya Moscow that the first sign of infection with the omicron strain of coronavirus could be a change in the child’s lifestyle and the rejection of habitual preferences.
