Important Instructions: In order to safely and correctly evaluate and treat you online we rely on your careful reading and understanding of each question with all of it’s options, and your honest and complete responses. Some items may seem redundant or as if they don’t apply to you, if so please bear with us and complete them to the best of your ability. Each question is equally important, so if you don’t completely understand anything please be sure to make a note of it and ask Dr. Haider to explain by chat afterwards as your response may change once the question has been explained and this may affect his diagnosis and treatment plan.
You can't enter a birth date more than 120 years ago, since we're pretty sure there is no one alive that old. Please double check and correct your birthdate.
Given your age, Dr. Haider usually recommends an extended high-risk protocol which includes dutasteride and spironolactone (for those patients who are not already on them and don't have any other contraindications), which are thought to help with acute and long COVID, especially in higher-risk men, but also in higher-risk women. Dutasteride is commonly used for enlarged prostate and hair loss in men and spironolactone is commonly used in both sexes for high blood pressure, or as a water pill, and in women for acne.
Both are androgen blockers which can interfere with fetal development, so should not be handled by women of childbearing age (unless they are on strict birth control or otherwise certain they are not and cannot get pregnant), should any women of that description be in the household.
Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic (water pill), which means that it may raise your body's levels of potassium. If you do not take a potassium supplement and you have normal functioning kidneys then your body can usually handle this and remove any excess potassium. However, if you do take potassium supplementation (often recommended to patients who have chronically low levels due to other diuretics/water pills), and/or if you have low kidney function, then you may develop excessively high levels of potassium when you add spironolactone, which can be dangerous and cause heart arrhythmias in rare cases. It is always recommended to get potassium levels checked a week after starting on spironolactone.
If you would like Dr. Haider to consider one or both of these meds for your protocol in case of developing an acute COVID infection, let us know that you have read the above and would like them added to your prescriptions. *
