The course of medication given to President Trump for treatment of COVID-19 is likely "being done for precautionary reasons" and "may continue for the next several days," Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel told "Fox News @ Night" Friday. Late Friday, White House physician Dr. Sean Conley announced that Trump had completed an initial dose of Remdesivir therapy and was "resting comfortably" at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. Earlier in the day, shortly before Trump went to the hospital, Conley said the president had received "a single 8 gram dose of Regeneron's polyclonal antibody cocktail," a treatment Siegel said had shown promise in patients over recent weeks. And the fact that he is sitting there without [supplemental] oxygen and comfortable, in good spirits, is definitely a positive sign." In his Friday afternoon statement, Conley noted the president had been taking "zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin."
