Podcast 752: Budesonide for COVID

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Recent study evaluated budesonide for outpatient COVID-19 infection treatment to see if there was a decrease in length of illness or hospitalization rates
  • Found patients who received a budesonide inhaler had recovery times that were about 3 days shorter and there was a slight (non-significant) decrease in hospitalizations
