ABSTRACT

Background:

Hesperidin is a secondary metabolite of the flavonoid group. Due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties, it can be helpful as a treatment option for patients with COVID 19.

Methods:

This study was conducted as a clinical trial in Masih Daneshvari Hospital in Tehran. After providing complete explanations and obtaining written consent, patients with new coronavirus (COVID-19) were included in the study if they met the inclusion criteria. 20 patients with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) were included in the study. Patients were then randomly divided into hesperidin and control groups. Patients in the hesperidin group received 1 mg of hesperidin orally intravenously every 6 hours for 5 days, whereas in the control group, they did not. Then, the desired variables were measured during the research period. Patients were monitored for adverse drug reactions based on clinical symptoms and signs. The results were evaluated with regard to the design of the questionnaire and its completion using t-test and SPSS16 software.

Results:

Patients with equal gender ratio were studied and diabetes mellitus with a prevalence of 60% had the highest prevalence among patients. On the other hand, 85% of these patients presented with bilateral lung involvement. Using hesperidin decreased lymphocytes, CRP, ESR, LDH, D-dimer, and IL-6 and increased WBC, Hb and Plt. None of the mentioned changes were significant (p>0.05).

Conclusion:

Utilizing hesperidin could not cause significant changes in the level of immunological and inflammatory factors in patients with COVID 19. © 2022 by the Author(s).
