CoVid infections can gum up your intellectual functions resulting in problems thinking, making decisions, and remembers.  Yale neuroscientists now announce that their small, preliminary study of 12 long-CoVid patients suggests that a 2 drug combo helps disperse CoVid brain fog,  The alpha2A-adrenoceptor agonist guanfacine coupled with the anti-oxidant N-acetylcysteine improved patients’ working memories, abilities to concentrate and make decisions, and capacities to tackle their everyday jobs.  

 

These drugs are already FDA-approved for treatment of traumatic brain injuries and PTSD and can be used off-label for CoVid brain fog.
