[0106] Example
[0107] The following examples demonstrate that the provided methods and manufactured products can effectively treat, prevent, or improve coronavirus infections caused by viruses of the Orthocoronavirus subfamily, or viruses of the Coronaviridae family, or viruses targeting the Nidovirus target virus, slow the progression of microbial infections, reduce the severity of microbial infections, or prevent microbial infections.
[0108] Example 1: Exemplary Treatment Plan
[0109] A 29-year-old traveler returning to Australia after a trip to northern Italy felt he might have contracted a respiratory infection, or even COVID-19. On his flight home, he received the exemplary dedicated preventative inhaler described in this article, which contains (or administers) powdered hydroxychloroquine and remdesivir, combined with zanamivir in an inhalation cartridge or tray (RELENZA™). During the 18-hour flight, he needed to inhale three times. Over the next 6 hours, his sore throat, cough, and muscle pain subsided. He was able to breathe more easily. Given his symptoms, he thought he had typical flu or an early coronavirus infection. Upon arrival in Australia, he underwent a nasopharyngeal swab test, which showed no signs of coronavirus infection. However, a week later, his serological test showed a positive result for IgM antibodies against the coronavirus. This indicated that the inhaler could protect against early coronavirus chest infection, but mucosal exposure still showed the presence of antibodies, thus providing immunity.
[0110] Example 2
[0111] A 48-year-old businessman traveling from Sydney to the United States developed a sore throat upon arrival in Fort Worth, Dallas. Upon arrival at his hotel, he was able to use an exemplary adjustable hair dryer, as provided herein, into which he inserted a tray or container containing various antiviral powders, wherein the tray or container optionally contains the following powders: remdesivir (e.g., GS-5734™, Gilead Sciences) and oseltamivir (e.g., TAMIFLU™); chloroquine (or ARALEN™), chloroquine phosphate, quinine, chloroquine diphosphate, and / or hydroxychloroquine (e.g., PLAQUENIL™) with remdesivir and / or oseltamivir; remdesivir and / or oseltamivir; and opaganide or YELIVA™. Opaganenib and chloroquine (or ARALEN™), chloroquine phosphate, quinine, chloroquine diphosphate and / or hydroxychloroquine (e.g., PLAQUENIL™); or, oppaganenib, hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin (e.g., ZITHROMAX™ or AZITHROCIN™, optionally a sustained-release formulation of azithromycin, or ZMAX™). After inhaling the powder (which takes about 10 minutes), he continued inhaling air at a temperature of approximately 65°C, slowly adjusting the temperature upwards from around 50°C. He waited another two hours and then repeated the process. Six hours later, his throat improved, and he was able to work normally from then on.
[0112] Although he did not undergo an initial nasal swab test for coronavirus, a serological test several weeks later showed the presence of both IgM and IgG antibodies for COVID-19. This indicates exposure to the coronavirus without exhibiting the full symptoms of coronavirus infection. Using a hairdryer containing heated air and an antiviral agent can treat the infection and prevent the full manifestation of symptoms.
[0113] Example 3
[0114] A 65-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with breathing difficulties. She was immediately fitted with the exemplary ventilator or ventilator provided herein, and the operator inserted a cassette or tray containing antiviral powder (as used or provided in Example 2) into the receiver or inlet slot of the ventilator or ventilator. Upon insertion of the cassette or tray into the port or inlet slot, the cassette or tray operatively engages or connects to the inlet tube or vent of the ventilator or ventilator, and the device begins controlled delivery of the antiviral powder into the ventilator's air delivery tube, thus delivering it to the patient's lungs via positive pressure airflow. The exemplary ventilator or ventilator was programmed to deliver the powder from the cassette over approximately five to ten minutes. The first used cassette or tray was removed, and a new tray or cassette was inserted approximately every two hours over the next 6 to 48 hours, depending on breathing capacity and measured blood oxygen levels. After approximately 48 to 72 hours, the patient's condition began to improve.
[0115] Example 4
[0116] A 52-year-old male is using an exemplary CPAP (Continuous Positive Pressure) device, as provided herein, as part of his daily nightly sleep routine to manage his sleep apnea. After believing he has been exposed to an individual with COVID-19, before wearing the CPAP device's mask at night, he inserts a cartridge or tray containing antiviral powder (as used or provided in Example 2) into the receiving port or air inlet of the CPAP device. Upon insertion, the cartridge or tray operatively engages or connects to the CPAP device's air inlet or vent, and the device begins controlled delivery of the antiviral powder into the ventilator's air delivery tube, thus delivering it to the patient's lungs via positive pressure airflow. The exemplary CPAP device is programmed to deliver the powder from the cartridge over a period of approximately ten to twenty minutes.

[0131] Example 9: Exemplary Treatment Plan
[0132] A 42-year-old female patient was initially treated with oseltamivir (or TAMIFLU™) after she had contact with a patient who later tested positive for coronaviruses, particularly COVID-19. She received treatment for 4 days but subsequently developed fever, cough, pain, and some difficulty breathing, and blood tests showed she was positive for COVID-19.
[0133] Since the patient is still positive for the 2019-nCoV virus, lopinavir and ritonavir or KALETRA™, ALTRA™, ALUVIA™, KALMELTREX, LOPIMUNE™ or LOPINAVIR™ treatment are now added to the oseltamivir treatment, and the patient’s blood test becomes negative for coronavirus within 48 hours.
[0134] This patient was critically ill, experiencing difficulty breathing and walking, and was expected to die without this new combination of drugs. The combination of drugs described in this article can rapidly clear the coronavirus from a patient's bloodstream, thereby terminating or significantly improving a disease that would otherwise be life-threatening.
[0135] Example 10: Exemplary Treatment Plan
[0136] A 47-year-old man returning from travel developed draggles and muscle pain, with a temperature of 37.5°C. He was tested for coronavirus and tested positive for COVID-19 via swab. He began taking a combination of chloroquine 250 mg twice daily, lopinavir 200 mg twice daily, retenofovir 50 mg twice daily, and oseltamivir 75 mg twice daily (optionally, TAMIFLU™).
[0137] His symptoms improved further within three days, and a swab test on the sixth day was negative. The muscle pain also disappeared, and he felt well and was able to be discharged and go home on the seventh day.
[0138] Example 11: Exemplary Treatment Plan
[0139] A group of elderly travelers boarded a cruise ship, and many people on board were exposed to the coronavirus COVID-19, which was being tested. This group was given an inhaler as a preventative treatment / treatment, consisting of two inhaled or aerosol doses or 125 mg of chloroquine twice daily. None of them contracted COVID-19 and tested negative for the virus upon returning home after the cruise.
[0140] Example 12: Exemplary Treatment Plan
[0141] A 65-year-old female patient presented with a respiratory infection accompanied by shortness of breath, was hospitalized, and tested positive for COVID-19 coronavirus. She was treated with intravenous (IV) remdesivir 10 mg / kg, chloroquine 250 mg twice daily, inhaled interferon, and kaletra™ (lopinavir / ritonavir combination) 50 / 200 mg.
[0142] Over the next week, the patient's shortness of breath initially worsened but subsequently improved, with muscle pain and shortness of breath decreasing. By day 8, their virus test was negative for COVID-19. The patient was discharged on day 12, having fully recovered from coronavirus using this exemplary combination of medications.
[0143] Example 13: Exemplary Treatment Plan
[0144] Two Italian patients (one woman and one 69-year-old man with a pre-existing lung condition) who had traveled to India tested positive for coronavirus COVID-19. They were treated with lopinavir 200 mg twice daily, ritonavir 50 mg twice daily, chloroquine 250 mg twice daily, and oseltamivir 75 mg twice daily (TAMIFLU™). The woman tested negative after 7 days of this combination therapy, and the man showed significant improvement with a reduction in COVID-19 viral load. No significant side effects from the administered drug combination were observed.
[0145] Example 14: Exemplary Treatment Plan
[0146] A 32-year-old male patient may have contracted coronavirus COVID-19 at a party, testing positive for the virus via nasal swab. Symptoms included loss of taste, muscle aches, fever of 38.9°C, sore throat, cough, and shortness of breath. He was treated by a COVID-19 specialist who prescribed a combination of the following: opaganide or YELIVA™ tid, 200 mg or 300 mg per dose; hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice daily; lopinavir 200 mg three times daily; ritonavir 50 mg three times daily; and oseltamivir 75 mg tid, one, several, or all of these medications administered alone or in combination orally, intramuscularly, intravenously, and / or by inhalation (e.g., as a single preparation where applicable). The patient's fever gradually subsided, his sense of taste returned, and his cough and sore throat improved after another five days. Shortness of breath gradually improved, but this required more than 20 days (d) of continued treatment, but by day 8, several consecutive swabs were negative for COVID-19.
[0147] Example 15: Exemplary Treatment Plan
[0148] A 72-year-old man with a chronic cough suddenly developed a fever, worsening cough, and shortness of breath while hiking. He went to the emergency room, but the antibiotics he was given did not stop the progression of his illness. He saw a respiratory specialist and was found to be positive for COVID-19. He started taking opaganidine or YELIVA™ three times a day, 200 mg or 300 mg each time; and hydroxychloroquine 200 mg three times a day. He continued this treatment and noticed improvement within two days; a swab on the seventh day was negative, and by the 20th day he was completely asymptomatic.
[0149] Example 16: Exemplary Treatment Plan
[0150] A 27-year-old female patient tested positive for COVID-19 via nasal swab. Symptoms included muscle pain, sore throat, cough, and shortness of breath. She also complained of significant fatigue. The doctor started her on a combination of hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice daily (bid), lopinavir 200 mg three times daily (tid), ritonavir 50 mg three times daily (tid), and oseltamivir 75 mg three times daily (tid). Although the cough and sore throat persisted for another two days, the patient's fever subsided after four days. Her shortness of breath gradually improved, and after 12 days of treatment, several consecutive swabs became negative.
[0151] Example 17: Exemplary Treatment Plan
[0152] A 73-year-old man experienced loss of smell and taste, followed by muscle aches and pains, a fever of 38.5°C, cough, and sore throat. He then noticed shortness of breath and saw a doctor. The doctor started him on hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice daily, increasing to three times daily after three days, and azithromycin 50 mg three times daily. Within three days, the patient's fever improved and then disappeared. The patient continued this combination of two medications for a total of 12 days, and subsequent swab tests were negative for coronavirus COVID-19.
[0153] Example 18: Exemplary Treatment Plan
[0154] A 49-year-old patient with a confirmed COVID-19 infection via nasopharyngeal swab was treated with a combination of opaganidine or YELIVA™ 200 mg or 300 mg three times daily, hydroxychloroquine 200 mg three times daily, and azithromycin 50 mg twice daily to relieve symptoms. On day 4 of treatment, a nasal swab showed no coronavirus, and this was confirmed daily until day 14, when a cure was achieved. The patient's symptoms quickly subsided, and they eventually became completely normal and asymptomatic.

[0165] In alternative implementations, formulations or methods of administration are provided for co-formulated or co-administered drug regimens comprising: hydroxychloroquine (optionally, PLAQUENIL™), azithromycin (optionally, ZITHROMAX™ or AZITHROCIN™, optionally an oral sustained-release or extended-release formulation of azithromycin, or ZMAX™), vitamin C, vitamin D (optionally, cholecalciferol, vitamin D3 or calcidiol), and zinc, or any combination thereof.
[0166] In alternative implementations, any or all of this therapeutic combination may be administered orally and / or by inhalation (e.g., by using a nebulizer or equivalent). For example, ivermectin may be inhaled and the remaining drugs in the combination may be taken orally.
[0167] In alternative implementations, exemplary formulations or methods of administration for the drug regimens shown below (Groups C and D are separate exemplary treatment regimens), where numbers are in milligrams (mg) and each column represents a day (i.e., the first column is day 1 and the last column is day 10):
[0168] Alternatively, alternative group C received 12 mg of ivermectin on days 1, 3, 6, and 8:
[0169] Example 24
[0170] A 67-year-old man with cough, fever, muscle aches, and an oxygen saturation level of 95% (down from 97%) was treated after testing positive for Covid-19. He was given colchicine (or COLCRYS™, or MITIGARE™) 0.5 mg daily for 14 days, and hydroxychloroquine (or PLAQUENIL™) 200 mg twice daily. He was also given zinc, such as zinc picolinate, 50 mg daily for 14 days. No antibiotics were used. Two days after starting treatment, his oxygen saturation was 96%, and it recovered to 97% on the fourth day. Over the next 7 days, his cough improved, his fever disappeared, but his muscle aches and pains took slightly longer to subside.
[0171] Example 25
[0172] In another instance, the wife of an ICU physician who had previously tested positive for Covid-19 began experiencing symptoms of the infection, most likely acquired at home. Coughing was her primary symptom, and she also lost her sense of taste and smell. Her pulse oximeter reading remained at 96%, unlike her previous readings. She began taking colchicine (or COLCRYS™ or MITIGARE™) 0.5 mg twice daily for 14 days, and ivermectin 6 mg twice daily for the first 5 days, then 6 mg every morning. Her cough reversed within 2 weeks, but within 5 days of treatment, she felt much better and more energetic, and her sense of smell and taste began to return around the same time.
[0173] Example 26
[0174] In another instance, a 71-year-old male patient was taking 0.6 mg of colchicine twice daily for chronic constipation; this treatment is a well-validated and tested therapy. He also had diabetes, hypertension, and mild congestive heart failure. He developed a flu-like illness with cough, sore throat, muscle aches and pains, which later developed into fever and eventually loss of smell after about 4 or 5 days. Standard treatment for his cold did not improve his symptoms, and he underwent a swab test to look for Covid-19. The test was positive, and the patient added hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice daily and ivermectin 12 mg to his colchicine treatment on days 1, 3, 6, and 8. At this stage, his oximeter reading dropped to 92% and he had considerable difficulty breathing. Two days after starting the treatment, it was noticed that his fever had subsided, but his cough persisted. At this point, zinc sulfate 220 mg / day and azithromycin 250 mg were added every morning for 5 days. The patient showed significant improvement, with his oximeter reading rising to 95% and subsequently to 97%. His "cold" symptoms continued to improve, and his cough resolved on the 14th day. Subsequent throat swab tests were negative.
[0175] Example 27
[0176] In another example, colchicine (or COLCRYS™, or MITIGARE™) used in the two examples above may be formulated or administered in combination with: hydroxychloroquine (optionally, PLAQUENIL™) and / or avermectin drugs such as ivermectin (optionally, STROMECTOL™), moxifloxacin (optionally, CYDECTIN™, EQUEST™, QUEST™), slavin (optionally, STRONGHOLD™), milbemycin (optionally, milbemycin oxime, moxifloxacin, or nemactin), doramectin (optionally, DECTOMAX™), irinotecan, or abamectin; and optionally, colchicine (or COLCRYS™, or MITIGARE™) may also be formulated or administered in combination with: zinc (Zn); vitamin (Vit). D3; and vitamin C, or any combination thereof, such as colchicine (or COLCRYS™, or MITIGARE™), with or without hydroxychloroquine, vitamin C, vitamin D (optionally, cholecalciferol, vitamin D3, or calcidiol) and / or zinc.
[0177] Example 28
[0178] A 74-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital with shortness of breath. His oximeter reading was 91%. His daughter contacted the clinic, attempting to persuade the hospital doctor to treat the patient with a hydroxychloroquine-based therapy. Because convincing the prescribing doctor to begin such treatment would take a long time, she was given medication obtained from a local pharmacy. The patient had already been given intravenous remdesivir but was unresponsive. His new treatment was to continue remdesivir, but add hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice daily (bid, or BD). Additionally, azithromycin 250 mg was given every morning for the first 5 days, and zinc sulfate 50 mg (base) daily for the entire 10-day treatment. His improvement was rapid, and within the first 2 days, his oximeter reading rose to 95%. Intravenous treatment was discontinued, and he continued with hydroxychloroquine for the entire 10 days, while azithromycin was administered for the first 5 days. His ECG monitoring was normal. He was discharged home with an oximeter reading of 96%.
[0179] Example 29
[0180] In another instance, a 56-year-old performer contracted COVID-19 at home from a family member who was already infected. Her illness was characterized by flu-like symptoms, including cough, sneezing, fever, muscle aches, pains, and loss of smell. Her pulse oximeter reading did not drop below 96%, but she still experienced considerable difficulty breathing at rest. Due to an allergy to azithromycin, she was treated in the same manner as the 74-year-old patient discussed above; however, instead of azithromycin, she was given doxycycline 200 mg twice daily (bid, or BD) and doxycycline 100 mg twice daily, along with zinc sulfate (50 mg daily). The entire treatment lasted 10 days, and by day 8, most of her COVID-19 symptoms had resolved. Her initial throat swab was positive, but by day 14, her COVID-19 swab was now negative.
[0181] Example 30
[0182] In another instance, two patients with positive Covid-19 throat swabs were treated with hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice daily and clarithromycin 250 mg twice daily instead of azithromycin or doxycycline. Clarithromycin was administered along with 50 mg of zinc sulfate every morning for the entire 10-day course. ECGs were normal. In addition to these medications, the patients also received 5000 IU of vitamin D3 and 1000 IU of vitamin C daily throughout the treatment. By day 12, both of their throat swabs were negative.
[0183] Example 31: Combinations containing ivermectin
[0184] Seventy-eight patients were treated with a single 10-day regimen consisting of 12 mg of ivermectin on days 1, 3, and 8. They were also treated with doxycycline 100 mg twice daily throughout the 10-day period. They were also treated with a combination of 220 mg of zinc sulfate daily in the morning, along with 5000 IU of vitamin D3 and 1000 IU of vitamin C, each taken in the morning. Their swab tests for Covid-19 were positive between days 2 and 7 prior to the start of treatment.
[0185] This group presented with a variety of Covid-19 symptoms, and a decrease in oximeter readings to 86% was observed, which gradually returned to normal at different times during treatment. As confirmed by swab tests, all patients were cured of Covid-19, even those who were severely ill, short of breath, extremely fatigued, and had low oximeter readings. Some were receiving external treatment with hydroxychloroquine alone. Adding the ivermectin regimen as described above led to a rapid recovery for these patients. Thirty-four of these patients wore monitoring devices that sent ECG tracks back to base, and no abnormal arrhythmias occurred while using the triple anti-Covid-19 regimen.
[0186] Example 32
[0187] In another instance, 288 patients were treated with a combination of hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice daily for 10 days, with azithromycin 250 mg twice daily for the first 5 days. In addition to these medications, they were also treated with 5000 IU of vitamin D3 and 1000 mg of vitamin C daily. Each of these was taken daily for 10 days. The patients' nasopharyngeal swabs were positive for Covid-19. They began treatment between 2 and 9 days after the initial diagnosis via swab. All patients experienced typical symptoms of Covid-19 infection of varying severity, but none were hospitalized. Symptoms included fever, cough, muscle aches, shortness of breath, fatigue, and, in a small percentage of these patients, loss of taste and smell. Some also experienced diarrhea.
[0188] As determined by negative swabs after 14 days, the infection reversed in about six of these patients, although some had swabs taken between 10 and 14 days. Six were considered not cured because they still had symptoms and tested positive for swabs. They were then treated with ivermectin triple therapy (ivermectin 12 mg on days 1, 3, and 8; doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 10 days; zinc sulfate 220 mg every morning, combined with vitamin D3 5000 IU and vitamin C 1000 IU, each taken in the morning) and recovered.
[0189] Example 33: Combinations containing adamantane
[0190] A 65-year-old patient sought help due to a seven-day history of chronic cough, muscle aches and pains, fatigue, fever, and loss of smell. He started with amantadine 100 mg daily for the first two days, increasing it to 100 mg twice daily for the next 10 days. He was also given colchicine 0.6 mg twice daily. Crucially, he was also treated with oxygen therapy, as well as vitamin D 5000 IU and vitamin C 1 g / day. Under this treatment, he improved within just three days, and by the seventh day of treatment, he still had a cough and muscle aches, but were somewhat better, though still very fatigued. He stopped coughing around day 14 and was able to return to work three weeks later.
[0191] Example 34: Combinations containing cyclosporine
[0192] A 47-year-old female nurse working in the intensive care unit developed symptoms of COVID-19 infection. She developed a rash, runny nose, muscle aches, cough, and eventually some shortness of breath. Her pulse oximeter reading was 92 and she was advised to be hospitalized. She was chosen to be treated with a combination of cyclosporine at a dose of 3 mg / kg (180 mg daily) with 12 mg ivermectin once a day plus 50 mg zinc alkali and doxycycline 100 mg twice a day, all for 10 days. She started treatment when her pulse oximeter reading was 92%, and within three days, her pulse oximeter rose to 95%, and by the seventh day it rose to 97%. Her side effects of loosemotions and cramps were minor, but her nasopharyngeal swab was negative on day 12.
