  • A systematic review of nine trials involving 609 participants found no notable differences in RRB outcomes between those treated with antidepressants and those given a placebo.
  • Only specific antidepressants like clomipramine and fluvoxamine showed some positive effects in small preliminary studies, but these findings need to be verified in larger trials.

Article Synopsis
  • As of January 2024, there have been over 774 million COVID-19 cases and around 7 million deaths, leading to a significant need for treatments that can prevent hospitalization.
  • Fluvoxamine, an SSRI, was identified as a potential treatment to reduce clinical deterioration in COVID-19 patients and has been tested in 14 clinical trials, including seven randomized placebo-controlled studies.
  • The analysis of these studies indicates that fluvoxamine significantly reduces the risk of clinical deterioration in COVID-19 patients, with a notable lower rate of deterioration in those treated with the drug compared to standard care.
