Another viewer request! WhiteBoard Style discussion on the use of pepcid, or famotidine, in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. We discuss the proposed mechanism behind this therapy as demonstrated in a computational study. We then dive into a pre-published retrospective cohort study, propensity matched, that demonstrated decreased mortality and decreased need for intubation in those who received famotidine within 24 hours of their admission.

There will be a running series of videos using the most up to date information on COVID-19, but this is an evolving field and new videos may come out that contradict that previous information. That is okay and is the nature of a fast paced and evolving clinical scenario. Stick with us as we work to unveil the intricacies of COVID-19, it's clinical significance, and the societal implications. *****This is strictly educational and not to be mistaken as clinical recommendations, please verify all information with accepted guidelines and practice patterns.****
