Anyone Tried Monoclonal Antibody Treatment?
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Aug 16 10:03am | Replies (10)Comment receiving replies
@repl, I had the monoclonal antibody treatment the first time I contracted COVID-19 and it did provide relief within a few days for me. The second time I contracted COVID I wasn't eligible for the treatment because it had been too long (more than 10 days) after noticing my first symptoms. The second time I had a really mild case and it didn't really even feel bad. I haven't read the UCSF study but Mayo Clinic has a Q and A on the topic here:
"Monoclonal antibody therapies are laboratory-produced proteins that serve as temporary immunity against COVID-19. The antibodies bind to SARS-CoV2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and prevent it from attaching to human cells."

Hi John,
Thank you for your response.
It sounds like you got the monoclonal antibodies for acute infection, which helped. And possibly helped with your future infections as well…
I’d be super interested to know of anyone who has had monoclonal antibodies after having long COVID? Not acute infection.
The study I linked to discussed how these patients had LC and were given monoclonal antibody therapy with remission after few days of treatment. I think this is really promising!
So just wondering if anyone out there has heard of someone taking monoclonal therapy for LC?
And it’s good to hear from someone who has had it done too!
Did you have any side effects from it?
Best,
REPL
