Mobile Monoclonal Antibody Infusion Treatment
Monoclonal antibody infusion is among the most promising treatments for mild to moderate COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Monoclonal antibodies are just like your body’s antibodies but are selected for their strong ability to resist the virus. Anyplace MD provides first and one-of-a-kind mobile antibody treatment.
APMD partners with hospitals across the United States to help fight COVID-19.
Why APMD Monoclonal antibody treatment
Clinical trials have shown that these treatments can decrease hospitalizations and emergency department visits. They can also reduce the amount of virus found in an infected person’s blood.
After entering your body, monoclonal antibodies look for and attach to the spike protein that sticks out of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. When monoclonal antibodies attach to the spike protein, they can block the virus’s ability to enter cells — and slow down the infection.
Your Ultimate COVID-19 Treatment Solution
Health care workers administer monoclonal antibodies with a one-time intravenous (IV) infusion. The IV infusion involves placing a needle in a vein and gradually sending the medicine through the IV and into the body.
The infusion takes about an hour. After the IV is removed, patients must wait at least one more hour so health care workers can watch for side effects or negative reactions.
