- Doctors from Austria have treated COVID-19 patients in the ICU with cannabidiol, also known as CBD, finding that the marijuana-derived compound can hasten recovery.
- Patients who received CBD cleared the virus faster than those who were on other medications. Doctors suspect the drug modulates inflammation, boosts the immune system, and helps restore oxygen levels.
- Despite the benefits of CBD use in coronavirus therapy, more research is required. Experts warn against at-home use of marijuana or CBD for treating COVID-19 without medical supervision.
Several COVID-19 vaccine candidates have completed clinical trials, showing efficacy and safety at preventing coronavirus complications and deaths. Becoming infected is still possible for those who are immunized, but the vaccines will minimize the chances of life-threatening COVID-19 complications. These vaccines have received emergency authorization in several regions, and more are about to pass through the same regulatory hurdles. But vaccines aren’t enough to prevent deaths. Hundreds of thousands of people get infected each day, and the vaccine won't help them while fighting off the illness. More people will continue to be infected until the world reaches herd immunity, and that process could take years in some regions where vaccinations haven’t even started.
The good news is that researchers haven’t stopped looking for better COVID-19 therapies to save more lives, with breakthroughs revealed regularly. The latest such development comes from Austria, where doctors have been treating ICU patients with a cannabis compound that has beneficial effects across a range of medical issues. It turns out that cannabidiol (CBD), might help patients experiencing severe illness recover faster than other currently available therapies. If this data can be verified further, doctors might have one more therapy solution for patients experiencing COVID-19 complications.
