Fluvoxamine vs Placebo Effect on COVID-19 Recovery Time Examined

JAMA Network

About The Study: Among outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19, treatment with 50 mg of fluvoxamine twice daily for 10 days, compared with placebo, did not improve time to sustained recovery in this randomized clinical trial that included 1,288 adults. These findings do not support the use of fluvoxamine at this dose and duration in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.
