What to expect from different drugs used in the treatment of COVID-19

Highlights

SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent of COVID-19.
Currently, there are no effective treatments available against COVID-19.
We have at the moment only palliative pharmacological alternatives.
Some drugs: Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine, Antivirals, Plasma, Ivermectin, Anticoagulant.

Abstract

The end of 2019 was marked by the emergence of a new type of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which has killed more than 240,000 people around the world so far. Several clinical studies are being performed to test possible drugs in response to the COVID-19 outbreak; however, there is still no treatment that is completely effective. Our goal in this paper is to bring together the results of main studies carried out with different drugs in order to help spread the knowledge about possible treatments for COVID-19 that have been suggested so far.
