The aim of this work is to evaluate the complex therapeutic effect of Thiotriazolin (anticoagulant, antiplatelet, metabolitotropic, endothelioprotective activity) in patients with post-COVID syndrome in comparison with basic therapy.
Materials and methods. The studies involved 30 patients aged between 30 to 60 years with post-COVID syndrome. Of these, 15 persons received basic therapy (antibiotics, anticoagulants, acetylsalicylic acid), and other 15 patients received Thiotriazolin in the form of 200 mg tablets twice a day for 30 days against the background of basic therapy. Inclusion criteria were a positive PCR test for COVID-19; if the PCR test was negative, then the patients were enrolled based on the presence of IgM COVID-19 or IgG COVID-19 (with X-ray confirmed pneumonia). The rate of lung damage is up to 45 %. The patients had the following comorbidities: diabetes mellitus in the stage of compensation, arterial hypertension, ischemic heart disease without heart failure. The results of the study were calculated using the standard statistical package Statistica for Windows 13 (StatSoft Inc., № JPZ804I382130ARCN10-J), аs well as SPSS 16.0, Microsoft Office Excel 2003.
Results. The inclusion of Thiotriazolin in the complex basic therapy of post-COVID syndrome led to a significant increase in the effectiveness of basic endothelioprotective, anticoagulant and antiaggregatory therapy and contributed to the prevention of thrombus formation. The administration of Thiotriazolin led to a significant improvement in general clinical parameters in patients with post-COVID syndrome – complaints of tachycardia disappeared, blood pressure was stabilized (without additional correction with antihypertensive drugs), weakness and increased fatigue disappeared. Saturation in 14 (93.4 %) patients increased to 97–98 %. In the control group only 7 (46.7 %) of 15 patients had oxygen saturation at 97–98 % level.
Conclusions. The introduction of the drug Thiotriazolin in the form of 200 mg tablets twice a day for 30 days into the complex basic therapy of post-COVID syndrome leads to a significant increase in the basic endothelioprotective, antiaggregatory and anticoagulant therapy and contributes to the prevention of thrombus formation against the background of improving the state of the myocardium and vascular endothelium.
