I have not read that ivermectin can cause lower while blood count-that is a new one on me. My white blood count has, in fact, increased since i’ve been on ivermectin.
Nonetheless, this article is full of confusion. If local Doctor prescribe those medicine what a patient can do? Every body can’t afford to visit Apollo or Medanta.
Rubbish post.

Docs should thank people for taking their lives into their own hands. I’m sure the reporter hasn’t visited any hospital for covid treatment recently or he might have had a contra view
Very poorly researched article. Scores of studies have clearly shown the benefit of steroids in covid. In US, medical lobby was forced to accept this. Infact this is the only cheapest home based treatment possible. The same hospitals are prescribing the same.
Sorry but this is a poorly researched article putting all the blame on people who are scared and are willing to try anything to get better, people may be taking these medicines without consulting a doctor themselves, but these were prescribed by a doctor to SOMEONE to begin with. I have had COVID, so did my dad, didn’t consult a doctor for myself because I had mild symptoms, but consulted for my dad due to his age and BP, he was prescribed these VERY SAME medicines that the doctors in the articles are frowning upon. Thankfully he recovered without taking any of these medicines, just took vitamins and paracetamol for fever. Now my Aunt is down with COVID, thankfully mild symptoms again, she is also sticking only to vitamins, had her first vaccine dose 23 days before symptoms showed up so maybe that is helping too. Even I developed mild fever after she tested positive, consulted a doctor, was prescribed the same medicines again. So no, it’s not all SELF PRESCRIBED, it’s just that SO MANY PEOPLE have been told to take the same medicines irrespective of their age, gender, comorbidities, etc that people know what the doctor is gonna prescribe beforehand. That being said, I don’t condone self medication, but maybe the blame does not squarely lie on the people alone.
Dear doctors/ consultants! The self prescription of treatment for Covid is alarming, yet not very dangerous. All the medicines except possibly dexamethasone are very safe, dexamethasone given for 5days without tapering off too is okay. We don’t have facilities to handle so many patients. Frankly speaking, most of the doctors prefer prescribing on telephone or mobile, rather than entertaining the patients physically.
Dear Doctors/Consultants,
I agree with Awani. Since there are no beds in the hospital…many clinics have closed and are rather avoiding patients in many localities what will a patient or there loved ones would do in such situation? Also, how will a common man know if the locality doctors prescribed medicines are not effective or rather can cause side effects? Please give the solution?

There is no local doctors Available right now as they all are in isolation themselves. Only “youtube” and “Facebook” doctors are left to listen to us.
