Bebtelovimab for COVID-19 Reviews
"Tested positive for COVID-19 on 7/24/22 in hospital. The Dr. in ER said he wanted me to have an antibody dosage, did not tell me the name or dosage of the antibody they wanted to give me, or possible side effects. I am 82, did not get the COVID-19 vaccine or boosters. After I agreed to chance this antibody (Bebtelovimab) that I now know the name of I came home that same day and slept for 8 hours. Started with side effects of sourness in mouth, tasteless food, tightening in head and ears, headaches, unable to sleep without waking up two or three times each night and having paranoia, nervous anxiety and depression not able to go back to sleep. To this date August 25,2022 I am having these effects, + blurred vision, oxygen fluctuations, some days it seems like I might be on the mend but as the day progresses it changes. I have been keeping records on a daily basis."
"I was given Bebtelovimab to treat coronavirus and it made me worse. I had two days of bad cold symptoms, sweats, chills, fatigue, runny nose, cough. On the third day I had begun to feel better but my doctor gave me a covid test and it was positive. On the fourth day I had improved even more and I obtained an intravenous dose of Bebtelovimab. I was told by a nurse practitioner I would begin to feel better right away. My condition worsened in that I felt even more tired and began to have a headache. My respiratory symptoms did not recur. Currently I am very fatigued, dizzy and have occasional headaches. I was not experiencing these before the Bebtelovimab."
"We got COVID at a wedding. My mother was 82 and had a pre existing dry cough, and multiple medical issues before getting a mild case of COVID BA4 or 5. She got the bebtelovomab infusion day three, and recovered faster than I did. Then after a few days the cough got worse and productive with slightly bloody mucous. We went to the hospital because she was having difficulty breathing over night. They did a breathing treatment and released her. I tested her and she was COVID positive again. The breathing difficulty was intermittent and began again so I took her via ambulance to a better hospital. Where she tested negative. She went into respiratory arrest several times, and was gone 15 days after getting COVID. The doctors said she had a condition of the bronchioles that made them collapse. It was so strange how she would be up talking one minute and gasping for breath the next. I’m still not sure if it was rebound or just the bronchiole collapse or if the drug hurt her"
"I contracted Covid on November 10th and was starting on a regimen of Paxlovid. After 3 days I was hospitalized with PAD related bloody flow emergency. I was off my medication for 3 days. Hospital staff recommended a shot of an antimonoclonal(?). I received the shot IV and it worked fine. My symptoms of coughing, fever and fatigue subsided over the next 3 days. It is now 1 week later and I feel fine."
