Abstract
Since its emergence in December 2019, corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
has impacted several countries, affecting more than 90
thousand patients and making it a global public threat. The routes of transmission
are direct contact, and droplet and possible aerosol transmissions] 1[ .
We aim to publish the research summary information for all COVID-19 research
within 3 months of approval, so that the research community
and wider public can see information about studies taking place in relation to the
current pandemic. We are asking sponsors not to request deferral of the publication
of these research summaries ] 9[.
You can search for approved COVID-19 research by typing ‘COVID-19’ into the
search function on the left ] 9[.

New research will be marked as [COVID-19] in the title. Existing research that has
added on a COVID-19 element will be marked as [COVID-19] with the
amendment date in the ‘research summary’ field ] 6[.
Transmission
The main mechanism of transmission for the virus is either inhalation of droplets or
direct contact with droplets. ] 6[
Family cluster transmission via close and unprotected exposure directly to droplets
or indirectly with fomites in the immediate environment is the

There is no cure yet for Covid-19. Only one treatment, a drug called Remdesivir,
Has been abroved by f.d.a for the disease and resrach suggests it may
provide only a modest benefit to patients. The F.D.A. has granted emergency use
authorization to other treatment ] 3[.
2. AstraZeneca-Oxford Vaccine
This vaccine was developed by the British laboratory AstraZeneca and the
University of Oxford "AstraZeneca-Oxford" and the technology it uses is "viral
vector" in which another virus is used less virulent that is converted to be added to
a part of the Corona virus, and it is inserted The modified virus is transferred to the
of individuals which in turn produce a typical protein for "SARS Cove 2" which
would prompt their immune systems to recognize it The Oxford-AstraZeneca
vaccine uses adenoviruses as a viral vector in a technology similar to the Russian
vaccine] 9[..
3.Pfizer-Biontech Vaccine
Developed by the American company Pfizer and its German Partner Bio NTech, it
works on messenger RNA technology, or mRNA, a molecule that tells our cells
what to make] 9[..
This vaccine is injected into the body and it introduces this molecule that controls
the mechanism for manufacturing a specific coronavirus antigen "spike" a very
special tip on its surface that allows it to stick to human cells for penetration This
spike will then be detected by the immune system which will produce the
antibodies and these antibodies will remain for a certain period of time] 9[..
4. Moderna Vaccine

This vaccine was developed by the American company Moderna and Moderna's
vaccine uses the same "messengerـRNA" technology as the Pfizer-Biotech vaccine ] 9[
5. Novavax Vaccine ]
The vaccine was developed by the US company Novavax. It relies on inserting a
modified gene into a virus called a bacterial virus (baculovirus) and allowing it to
infect insect cells and then the spike proteins from these cells were assembled into
nanoparticles which while they look like the Corona virus but they cannot
reproduce. or causing COVID-19] 9[..
These nanoparticles are injected into the body by the vaccine where they trigger the
formation of the immune system in response to the antibody, and if the body
encounters the Corona virus in the future the immune system will be able to repel
it] 9[..

Developed by the Chinese company, Sino pharm and based on an inactivated
“inert” virus Sino pharm developed it in cooperation with the Wuhan Institute of
Virology and the Institute of Biological Products, according to a report in Deutsche
Welle ] 9[.
In the inactivated vaccine technology infectious agents from the emerging corona
virus are treated - chemically or through heat - to lose their danger but while
preserving their ability to produce an immune response and this is the most

Dexamethasone is a long-acting synthetic corticosteroid that blocks the release of
substances used in inflammation including staglandins, quinine, histamine, and
lipolysis enzymes, and it also alters the body's immune system. Alternative
medicine, you can use it in alternative medicine, you can use it in alternative
medicine. It can be taken orally or intravenously. Invest in a day and last for three
days. It has been shown to be effective in treating some severe cases of COVID-19.

states of oxidative stress, Vitamin C supplementation has been evaluated in
numerous disease states, including serious infections and sepsis. Because SARS-
CoV-2 infection may cause sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS),
the potential role of high doses of vitamin C in ameliorating inflammation and
vascular injury in patients with COVID-19 is being studied. ] 3[.
Vitamin C is a vitamin that is found in a variety of foods and is also sold as a
supplement. Vitamin C is also called ascorbic acid and is used to prevent and treat
scurvy. It is also considered one of the important types of vitamins for human
health and some types of animals because it helps in tissue re-growth and
production of neurotransmitter enzymes. ] 3[.
Vitamin C is also required in the functioning of many enzymes necessary for the
functions of the immune system. It also acts as an antioxidant. There is currently no
evidence that vitamin C prevents colds. ] 3[.
On the other hand, there are some studies that prove that regular doses of vitamin C
can reduce the duration of a cold. It is not clear whether supplementation with this
vitamin affects the effects of cancer, dementia, or cardiovascular disease. ] 3[.

leads to enhanced platelet activation, thrombotic microangiopathy [and clotting in
addition. ] 6[.
The activated platelets also contribute to neutrophil activation Prophylactic therapy
with anticoagulants is often included in the therapy. ] 6[.
Arterial thromboembolism was reported during some cases of the disease Testing
the effect of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) was suggested by Viola et al. for Covid-19
pneumonia This is based on their previous study that ASA treatment ameliorated
the course of community-acquired pneumonia and increased the 30-day survival
Treatment with ASA was also proposed by modulatory effect on prostaglandin
synthesis and thus being a possibility to accelerate the resolution of the
inflammation ASA was also reported to have direct antiviral effects, for example
by up-regulation of type I interferon There are expert-based recommendations to
continue the use of antiplatelet therapy that were started earlier for other indications
However, as of now, the evidence regarding the effect of ASA or other antiplatelet
therapy on Covid-19’s severity or outcome is lacking. ] 3[.

8. Antipyretic (Paracetamol)
figure (1-8)
Paracetamol is being suggested, for more than 60 years, messages begin around
the world.
Paracetamol is recommended by public health authorities, including the World
Health Organization (WHO), for rapid symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate
pain and fever reduction in COVID-19. ] 3[.
There are important factors which may be confounders in assessing causality of
ibuprofen with possibly worse COVID-19 illness. First, fever has been shown to be
beneficial toward a reduction in the duration of viral illness and the mortality
associated with illness Outside of reducing patient discomfort, there is little
evidence to support administration of antipyretics to reduce fever results in better
overall outcomes in previously healthy patients [ To the contrary, in several studies,
the use of antipyretics has been associated with an increase in mortality and
morbidity It is therefore a concern of whether these agents may suppress the
natural mechanism of the body to fight infection. ] 3[.
Secondly, there is evidence to support that ibuprofen is superior to acetaminophen
in reducing fever. In a randomized controlled trial in children comparing ibuprofen
and acetaminophen at equipotent doses, ibuprofen provided a larger temperature
decrease and a longer duration of response Meta analyses have also shown that
ibuprofen has a larger temperature reduction effect compared to acetaminophen in
children and in adults Thus, a superior antipyretic effect may be related to
ibuprofen more effectively hindering the beneficial effect of fever in COVID-19
viral illness. ] 3[

1.Vitamin E
Vitamin E has many functions in the body. It is based on the following:
fatty acid protection.
Maintain muscle and red blood cells.
An important antioxidant in the body that protects the body from infections and
diseases.
Vitamin E can be obtained by eating eggs, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. ] 11[.
2.Vitamin K
Vitamins that should not be lacking in the body, one of which is vitamin K, as the
benefits of the vitamin are as follows:
Control of blood clotting.
Protection from blood clotting.
Reducing bone density loss.
Vitamin K can be obtained from foods such as spinach, broccoli, green leafy
vegetables, and liver. ] 11[.
3.Vitamins B complex
Vitamins that the body should not lack in the body, one of the vitamins of the B
group, which includes the following:
A-Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
Vitamin B1 levels must be maintained in the body because it works on the
following:
Improve metabolism.
Maintain proper digestion.
Protects the nerves and supports them to carry out their functions.
Vitamin B1 can be obtained by eating legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. ] 11[.
4. Iron
Iron is one of the important minerals in the human body, and it has a major role in
the process of transporting oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body by
hemoglobin, which is found in red blood cells, and constitutes two-thirds of the
source of iron inside the body, and this means that iron deficiency affects various
body functions, starting with Brain functions and the end of the immune system
and its ability to fight infection. ] 9[.
Iron comes from two sources, one of which is animal, which is known as heme
iron, such as: red meat, fish, poultry, egg yolk, and liver. The other is vegetarian
and is known as non-heme iron, which is difficult for the body to absorb like. ] 9[.
5. Potassium
28
Potassium is one of the most important nutrients for the body, and the most
important element to reduce anxiety and stress and control blood pressure, and is
concentrated in the following;
1.Stimulating nervous activity
Potassium plays an important role in stimulating brain function at a normal level, as
higher levels of potassium allow more oxygen to reach the brain, thus stimulating
neural activity and increasing cognitive ability. ] 11[.
.2 control blood sugar
A low potassium level causes a drop in blood sugar, which leads to sweating,
headache, weakness and nervousness. The intake of potassium and sodium chloride
provides immediate relief in such cases, and the diabetic patient should maintain
the level of potassium in the blood at normal levels. ] 11[.
3.Reduce muscle disorders
The contraction and relaxation of the muscles require a sufficient concentration of
potassium. Most of the potassium ions in the human body are found in muscle
cells. It maintains optimal muscle and nerve function, as well as rapid reflexes. ] 11[.
4.Preventing cramps
Muscle cramps result from a low level of potassium in the blood, and this condition
can be prevented by eating a banana daily. ] 11[.
5.Promote bone health
There are certain qualities in potassium that benefit the various acids in the body,
which helps to maintain and keep calcium, and eating fruits and vegetables high in
potassium leads to an increase in bone mineral density, which further strengthens it
and extends its life. ] 11[.
6.Calcium
Calcium is essential for overall health. The calcium needed by the human body can
be obtained from many types of food and, if necessary, can be obtained by taking
nutritional supplements. ] 11[.
But it is also necessary, as with any of the nutrients, whether vitamins, minerals or
salts, to make sure not to overdo or reduce calcium, as it should be eaten in
moderation and according to what the body needs. ] 11[.
29
The body needs calcium for blood circulation, to move muscles, and to secrete
hormones. Calcium also helps transmit messages from the brain to other parts of
the body. It is also a key part of healthy teeth and bones, which makes them strong
and dense. ] 11[.
And if the amounts of calcium consumed are less than what the body needs, it
withdraws its needs from the “calcium depot” in the body, which is the bones, and
thus becomes weak and brittle over time. ] 11[.
Calcium sources: -
The human body does not produce calcium, so it depends on food to get it
•Milk, cheese and yogurt/yogurt.
• Kale, spinach and broccoli.
•White beans.
• sardines . ] 11[.
*Calcium and Vitamin D Relationship: -
The body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium, which means that it will not take full
advantage of a calcium-rich diet if there is a vitamin D deficiency. ] 11[.
7. Magnesium
Magnesium These mineral particles are minerals that people need to consume in
relatively large amounts of at least 100 milligrams per day, and low levels of
magnesium in the body have been linked to diseases such as osteoporosis, high
blood pressure, clogged arteries, genetic heart disease, and diabetes. ] 11[.
We will present the benefits of magnesium on the health of the body as follows:
.1 Strengthen bone health
Magnesium may directly and indirectly improve bone health.
Magnesium helps regulate calcium and vitamin D levels, two important nutrients
for bone health, which are essential for healthy bone formation. ] 11[.
- 8.zinc
- helps regulate cell production in the human body's immune system. Zinc is
- concentrated in the strongest muscles in the body, especially in white and red
blood cells
- The human body contains more than 300 different enzymes that require zinc
- for the body to function in its normal activities. Researchers believe that the
- human body needs about 3,000 out of 100,000 proteins in the body, which are
mostly zinc.
- The average person needs 2-3 grams of zinc at any given time, knowing that
- the human body has organs that secrete zinc, such as the salivary gland
- prostate gland and pancreas. Even cells involved in the activity of the
- immune system secrete zinc. A study showed that nearly two billion people in
31
- the developed world suffer from zinc deficiency, and a study conducted by
- two children are born with zinc deficiency, and this deficiency leads to
developmental problems and weak immunity[ 6]

3.4 Discussion
Through the study, it was noted that the number of cases of women were
more than that of men, may be due to the defiency of vitamin D because
women over 45 stayed at home longtime.
It was noted that the total number of cases was increasing in the months
April and June, while in the month of May, the lowest number of cases was,
36
due to the government imposed a bon and renewal of preventive precautions,
obligating people to wear masks in markets, shops and businesses and
reducing the number of employees in government department.
It was noted that the rate of deaths in the end of June was increasing, because
the emergence of the delta mutant in the neighboring countries of Libya
(Tunisia) at a time when the control of communicable and endemic diseases
did not announce the arrival of the mutated gyrus delta to Libya.
It was noted that the number of recovery cases increased by a large
percentage in the beginning of June.
It was noted that the number of recovery cases increased gradually in the last
three months.
During May, it was the best and promising in terms of results number of
cases and number of recovery cases, as a result of people is response to the
precautionary measures.
It was noted that at the end of June there was a very noticeable increase in
the number of positive cases and the number of deaths as a spread of mutated
delta.
Also, the arrival of the vaccine, that is Libya and people demand for
vaccination contributed significantly to the decrease in the number of injuries
and deaths, Where the number three million cases from the arrival of the
vaccinations to Libya until this time.
37
3.5 Conclusion
We conclude from this study that the therapeutic protocol followed in Tripoli
is identical to the therapeutic protocol in the countries of the world, as
approved by WHO, as the new mutant of covid-19 is less virulent of covid-
19 that started in the city of yuhan in china, but this is faster spread like the
Indian delta mutant spread during the study period.
The arrival of vaccines to most countries of the world is considered the most
important way to eliminate this virus, reduce its spread and end the corona
pandemic.
After discharge from the hospital, the evaluation pharmacist must conduct
monthly interviews, for a period of six months, to determine any drug-related
readmissions. The pharmacist should use a pre-tested questionnaire to
document readmission information. The pharmacist must identify potential
causes of drug-related reintroduction as either adverse drug reactions, drug
mismatch at discharge prescription (resulting in drugs inadvertently
continuing, changing, stopping, or restarting), and therapeutic failure
(including non-compliance poor patient knowledge about medications and
dose-reduced at discharge) or dispensing errors. We excluded drug-related
readmissions that began after patients were discharged from.
