‘Fatigued’ Trump Given Experimental COVID-19 Drug: White House Doc

Trump received a single eight gram dose of Regeneron’s polyclonal antibody cocktail “as a precautionary measure,” Conley said in a Friday afternoon memo. He’s also been taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and daily aspirin.

Regeneron’s antibody cocktail doesn’t have FDA approval but has emergency approval and near the end of its Phase 3 trials. It has been found to reduce the viral load and improve symptoms in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
