This stuff is sincerely a miracle. - My sister was incredibly sick but hadn't been hospitalized yet - she was better in two days after treatment. My son who is 16 was getting sick and we got him the treatment - that night he felt 100%. I have heart problems and got the treatment as soon as I was exposed. the only system i got was loss of smell. - Literally everyone I know that has had this treatment has survived covid. - Thank You Florida for making this so available.

this stuff works. I was vaccinated and still went to the hospital for covid. I was getting progressively worse for 8 days and as soon as I got this treatment my symptoms finally started to improve. Thank you Regeneron

So if you get antibody treatment. Does your body learn how to make the antibodies?

[callusthejohnsonsjohnson]

Can we take cold medicine like vicks flu therapy after getting the treatment?

[lakehousefor]

Patients with positive COVID-19 results who are 12 years of age or older and who have had mild to moderate symptoms for less than 10 days are eligible to receive the treatment. Treatment is NOT authorized for patients who are:

Hospitalized or require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19
On chronic oxygen therapy who require an increase in baseline oxygen flow due to COVID-19 Take care and stay safe.

Please talk about side effects.

I’m not vaccinated and got infected by a vaccinated cousin. Started having symptoms three days later being exposed. Then after a week I felt fine, but a neighbor recommended me for Monoclonal, so I took it as a precautionary measure. Coincidentally after the treatment, I started feeling tired and plem started to form in my lungs. 15 days after I still feel tired and positive to Covid. Is that normal?

The antibodies treatment works and it helps but will it work it i have my period and covid at the same time

[BarbaraGossAuthor]

I had anaphylaxis reaction to my first Covid shot so they won't give me another one. I'm 77. Would I be eligible?

[BlackMisterio]

Can I get this therapy again? Or is it just one time?

[Supanova]

So 2 shots, got Delta 2 months ago, Monoclonals and I show No antibodies from blood work.

Im not the one to put foreign stuff in my body but I reluctantly took it and it did make me feel better.

[spikemorbid]

Do you have to have to have symptoms to get this done or can anyone do it? Is this a prevention and how long does it last?

[maryforbus]

Why can’t you get it if you need oxygen? Seems like you would need it more. Seems like with all phases of Covid the patient has to wait until they are really sick to get any treatment except a ventilator.
