SAPM warns against unprescribed use of dexamethasone, says only to be taken by critically ill patients

Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Health Dr Zafar Mirza reiterated on Wednesday that the drug dexamethasone — which recently showed a significant reduction in the risk of death among severe Covid-19 cases — should only be taken by critically ill patients on the advice of doctors.
Speaking to Geo News on the show Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath, the PM's aide called the trial a "positive development".
"This is a well researched study by scientists from Oxford University and it has been welcomed by the World Health Organisation (WHO). So all in all it's good news.
"This isn't a new drug, it's been used since the 1960s. But for those listening, this drug should not be used for mild cases, asymptomatic cases or healthy individuals that want to avoid [contracting] Covid-19 because it can have side effects."
The PM's aide also lamented that the drug was already becoming scarce in the market. "That's dangerous for two reasons; it could mean that people are hoarding it or that they have started self-medicating, something which can be injurious to health."
Earlier today, Mirza had said that an expert team would consider including dexamethasone in the treatment of critical Covid-19 patients.

"It is an old & cheap anti-inflammatory medicine (steroid) & we have multiple producers in Pakistan," he said in a tweet. He, however, warned people against using it without prescription as it was only meant for critical patients.
WHO says steroid should be for serious cases only
Dexamethasone should be reserved for serious cases in which it has been shown to provide benefits, the WHO said on Wednesday.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said research was at last providing “green shoots of hope” in treating the virus, which has killed more than 400,000 people worldwide and infected more than 8 million.
Trial results announced on Tuesday by researchers in Britain showed dexamethasone, a generic drug used since the 1960s to reduce inflammation in diseases such as arthritis, cut death rates by around a third among the most severely ill coronavirus patients admitted to hospital.
That makes it the first drug proved to save lives in fighting the disease. Countries are rushing to ensure that they have enough of it on hand, although medical officials say there is no shortage.
Some doctors were cautious, citing possible side effects and asking to see more data.
The head of the WHO's emergencies programme, Mike Ryan, said the drug should only be used in those serious cases where it has been shown to help.
“It is exceptionally important in this case, that the drug is reserved for use in severely ill and critical patients who can benefit from this drug clearly,” he told a briefing.

Country sees 136 virus deaths in single-day
| Zafar Mirza says welfare of frontline health workers top priority
June 20, 2020
ISLAMABAD - Authorities on Friday confirmed at least 4,944 new coronavirus cases in the country, taking the total tally to 165,062. These include 61,678 in Punjab, 62,269 in Sindh, 20,182 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 8,998 in Balochistan, 9,941 in Islamabad, 1225 in Gilgit-Baltistan and 769 in Azad Kashmir.
The death toll from the virus stands at 3229 with 136 deaths reported over the last twenty-four hours. At least 28,824 Corona tests were carried out during this period. So far, some 61,383 patients have recovered from the disease.
Meanwhile, Special Assistant to Prime Minister on National Health Services Dr Zafar Mirza on Friday said that welfare of frontline health workers fighting COVID-19 is a top priority of the government.
Addressing media in the capital, he said the government has established an integrated complaint management system to address complaints of the frontline health workers. They can register their complaints at 1166 or WhatsApp number 00923001111166. He said their complaints will be addressed on priority basis.
Furthermore, a comprehensive package has already been announced for the health workers fighting against coronavirus pandemic.
He said when a complaint is received, the staff will determine which province the complaint is from and its category and then it will be forwarded to the government’s focal point in that province.
“The staff will also call back the healthcare workers to inform them about the status of their complaint and how it has been resolved. Healthcare workers are on the frontline of the government’s response to COID-19. Therefore, the premier as well as federal and provincial governments have made [healthcare workers] their foremost priority,” he said.
Meanwhile, National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) has reported a consecutive 5th day decline in positive COVID-19 cases ratio after witnessing rise in number of positive cases for three weeks. The NCOC said around 103 more ventilators are added to national count which makes total number of ventilators 1503 in the country.
In order to meet additional requirements of hospitals, procurement of additional ventilators on fast track basis is in progress and would be completed between mid to end of next month.

What is COVID-19? The response of climate minister Zartaj Gul leaves everyone in tears
Web Desk

LAHORE - COVID-19 means that the Corona Virus has 19 points that can be applied to any country based on their level of immunity," says Federal Minister for Climate Change Zartaj Gul while talking in the program at PTV on Saturday night.
As soon as this bizarre statement was aired, the people took Twitter and started criticizing the PTI leader and saying that the minister did not even know what it was.

Some angry netizens say, the federal government has been accused of failing to do enough to raise awareness about the coronavirus, which is making the epidemic uncontrollable. How true is this accusation against the government? This can be gauged from the interpretation of COVID-19 by the minister.

The only way to stop spread of CORONA is to behave as if you have corona and you have to protect everyone from yourself.
Being a microbiologist, i am sure we cannot protect ourselves from infection if continue to behave as we are behaving.
Stay Home Stay Safe and Pray for a Allah's Help.
