Critical Care COVID-19 Management Protocol
(updated 9-28-2020)
Prophylaxis
While there is very limited data (and none specific for COVID-19), the following “cocktail” may
have a role in the prevention/mitigation of COVID-19 disease.
■ Vitamin C 500 mg BID and Quercetin 250 mg daily
■ Zinc 75-100 mg/day
■ Melatonin (slow release): Begin with 0.3mg and increase as tolerated to 2 mg
at night
■ Vitamin D3 1000-3000 u/day
■ Famotidine 20-40mg/day
Mildly Symptomatic patients (at home):
■ Vitamin C 500mg BID and Quercetin 250-500 mg BID
■ Zinc 75-100 mg/day
■ Melatonin 6-12 mg at night (the optimal dose is unknown)
■ Vitamin D3 2000 - 4000 u/day
■ ASA aspirin 81-325 mg/day (unless contraindicated)
■ Famotidine 40mg BID (reduce dose with renal impairment)
In symptomatic patients, monitoring with home pulse oximetry is recommended.
Ambulatory desaturation below 94% should prompt hospital admission
You can order off of Amazon for the things you don't have at home. The most important thing to have is a Pulse Oximeter and thermometer.
