💨 Abstract

A recent study suggests that fluvoxamine, a common antidepressant, significantly improves fatigue and quality of life in adults with long COVID. The trial, involving 399 participants, showed a 99% probability that fluvoxamine outperformed a placebo. The drug's anti-inflammatory properties are believed to reduce inflammation, alleviating fatigue. However, experts call for more research to distinguish between long COVID and depression, as fatigue is a symptom of both.
