In the hospital he was given regeneron... but there are multiple treatments now.
They break down into existing drugs repurposed (off label) vs. new drugs.
HCQ and Ivermectin are both Zinc ionophores that work very well to treat the chinese virus. HCQ works when given in the early stage of an infection. Ivermectin works early to mid stages, and also works to prevent infections. It is both stronger and cheaper than HCQ. Both have been in use for decades, and are proven to be very safe. Given the choice, I would now use Ivermectin instead of HCQ.
As for regeneron, I don't know how it compares to Ivermectin in terms of effectiveness or safety/side effects.
Ivermectin is hard to beat though. One dose for $2.00 and you are done. Generic, made everywhere, plentiful, dirt cheap, safe... every country should be using it, not just India and Japan.
