Now that I have completed a five-day treatment course for COVID-19 and a lung infection, and my blood oxygen levels have improved to 91-92% but I still have shortness of breath, which of my medicines?including Azithromycin, Monticope, Medrol, Revidox, Ivermectin, Zincovid, Vitamin C, Pantop D, Budecort, Duolin, and Rivaroxaban?should be continued, stopped, or adjusted?
Your oxygen levels are improving, but at 91-92% with ongoing shortness of breath, you need close monitoring. Please consult your doctor immediately before changing your regimen. Typically, you should not abruptly stop Medrol (methylprednisolone) or Rivaroxaban (blood thinner) as they are critical for your lungs and clot prevention. Inhalers like Budecort (budesonide) and Duolin (levosalbutamol/ipratropium) are important to continue for your breathing. Supportive medications like Pantop D, Monticope, Zincovid, and Vitamin C can generally be continued, while five-day courses of Azithromycin and Ivermectin are usually complete. Please have your doctor evaluate your oxygen levels today.
