Fact Check:

Ansu Nanda, a homoeopathic doctor, reported on India Today about Aspidosperma Q when it was discovered that the drug increases oxygen levels.

“Aspidosperma Q is used in the treatment of cardiac asthma and sometimes in the treatment of pulmonary asthma to relieve asthma symptoms and as a bronchodilator. It removes congestion in the chest and promotes better breathing. This temporarily increases the amount of oxygen taken up by the lungs. But, it is not an alternative to taking the oxygen needed by the patient who is in a critical condition. It should be given only after consulting a homoeopathic doctor and it is not advised to use it on your own, ”said the doctor.

Homoeopathic doctor Vidya contacted them to find out more, “Aspesdosperma Q should be used as a basic supportive medicine for patients with Covid-19 especially when they have a fever or cough with shortness of breath. Aspidosperm improves the capacity of the lungs and temporarily increases the oxygenation of the blood. This is not an alternative to providing the hospital-level oxygen needed by the patient in a critical situation. ”
