Did Oseltamivir help pregnant women in Brazil with Covid-19? Um.
..

SUMMARY - A Brazilian study has concluded that there is no
benefit to pregnant women taking the anti-viral oseltamivir
(known also as "Tamiflu") in order to prevent severe disease or
death from Covid-19. Oseltamivir was a desirable option in the
country of Brazil due to its low-cost and accessibility, as
opposed to other anti-virals at the time.
NOTE - There is another study conducted earlier with a general
population that cites a reduction of 2.5%. Given the two studies
(no statistical difference & 2.5%), perhaps relying on
oseltamivir shouldn't be anyone's "Plan A" for avoiding adverse
Covid-19 outcomes, especially given that there are far better
options (Moderna & Pfizer) available.
