BERKELEY, Calif., Jan. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund (CETF) announced today that the use of the generic antidepressant fluvoxamine helped speed the recovery of dozens of COVID-infected workers at Golden Gate Fields, the Berkeley horse racing venue that reopened Friday.
The track physician, Dr. David Seftel, offered fluvoxamine to infected employees after learning about the 100% success rate in avoiding hospitalization in a Phase 2 randomized controlled trial published on November 12, 2020, in the Journal of the American Medical Association. None of the 77 employees at Golden Gate Fields who opted to take fluvoxamine required hospitalization, compared with a 12.5% hospitalization rate for the 48 employees who declined the drug.
