Antidepressant Fluvoxamine Shows Promise Against Long Covid Fatigue

Antidepressant Fluvoxamine Shows Promise Against Long Covid Fatigue

A new study found that a common antidepressant called fluvoxamine can help people who are very tired for a long time after having Covid-19.

This condition is called Long Covid fatigue.

The study showed that people who took fluvoxamine felt less tired and could do more things in their daily lives.

Fluvoxamine is already used to treat depression and is not very expensive.

However, more research is needed to make sure it is safe and works well for everyone.

Over 65 million people around the world have Long Covid, and this medicine could be a good option for them.
