Haruo Ozaki, chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association, proposed emergency use of drugs mainly to prevent the severity of home caregivers in order to respond to the spread of the new coronavirus. He emphasized that antiparasitic drug "Ivermectin" should be administered to people infected with coronavirus because it has shown the effect of preventing severity overseas.
In addition to Ivermectin, the country called for approval for the use of the steroid-based anti-inflammatory drug "dexamethathone". The Ozaki clan said, "(both) there are few side effects. I want the country to consider treatment at the level of the family doctor."
Ivermectin and dexamethasone are prescribed in Japan. However, it has not been approved as a treatment for corona. As of the 8th, there are about 1,600 home recuperators in Tokyo, and about 1,600 people are "adjusted" without deciding where to be hospitalized. It is also a challenge to respond to sudden changes in the condition of home caregivers with mild and asymptomatic patients.
Mr. Ozaki emphasized the number of new cases per day in Tokyo that "removing it to about 100 people is the way to improve the situation from April to June". On the 9th, 412 new cases were confirmed in Tokyo.
