5-ASA preparations have very weak immunosuppressive activity. There are no reports that these drugs are associated with an increased risk of infection, and studies evaluating the safety profile of 5-ASA do not show an increased risk of serious or opportunistic infections. Treatment with 5-ASA should be continued without concern for an increased risk of infection or severe COVID-19. If the patient is in contact with a patient with COVID-19 or develops COVID-19, treatment with 5-ASA should be continued.
When transitioning to biological therapy, subcutaneous administration should be considered to limit patient contact with the healthcare facility. Selective switching from intravenous infliximab to subcutaneous anti-TNF is not recommended as it may increase the risk of relapse. If the patient is in contact with a COVID-19 person, withdrawal of anti-TNF therapy for 2 weeks should be considered.
Нагадаю також, що поняття “робочого тиску” — це міф. Деякі люди називають високий тиск своїм нормальним станом, оскільки не мають скарг та негативних відчуттів. Але це не означає, що лікуватись не потрібно. Українські пацієнти з серцево-судинними захворюваннями можуть отримувати необхідні ліки безоплатно або з невеликою доплатою за програмою «Доступні ліки». За наявності електронного рецепту від сімейного лікаря препарати видадуть у будь-які аптеці, яка бере участь у національній програмі
