Doctor At UW Health Has Used New Drug

A doctor of U-W Health says he is encouraged by the preliminary studies of the drug Dexamethasone .  Doctor William Ehlenbach says he has already used the widely-available steroid on one of his patients with good results.  Researchers in Great Britain say the drug could help some of the sickest coronavirus patients.  For those on a ventilator, it appears to reduce the risk of death by 35 percent.  The findings are still preliminary and it is too early to tell about long-term effects.  Doctors say it doesn’t work on all patients.
