Adverse Drug Reactions During COVID-19 Treatment

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) has been widely spread. Although many drugs are used in the treatment of COVID-19, there is still no specific treatment with proven reliability and effectiveness and there are many studies to find effective treatment. Attention should be taken regarding the properties, interactions and undesired drug reactions of drugs used in the treatment of COVID-19. Side effects and drug hypersensitivity reactions that occur during the use of drugs are undesirable drug reactions. The aim of this review is to draw attention to adverse drug reactions of the drugs that are being used in COVID-19 treatment.

Keywords

• Covid-19
• drug hypersensitivity
• adverse effect
