Favipiravir therapyFavipiravir was advised to all patients with severe pneumonia and progressing pneumonia findings or worsening clinical manifestations except pregnant, breast feeding, postpartum woman. PCR results were not waited to start favipiravir in this group of patients and continued if it would be negative but tomography findings were consistent with COVID-19. Loading dose was 1600 mg twice a day. Maintenance dose was 600 mg per 12 hours for four days.
Lopinavir-ritonavir therapyLopinavir-ritonavir therapy was used in selected ICU patients before widespread availability of favipiravir (23 March 2020) and/or if favipiravir was contraindicated. Combination of lopinavir 200 mg-ritonavir 50 mg tablet was the given form. It was given as double tablets twice daily for 10-14 days. Patients were accepted as under favipiravir therapy if they had incomplete course of lopinavir-ritonavir therapy (less than 5 days) and followed by favipiravir for 5 days.
