A member asked:
What prescription meds make you more vulnerable to catching novel coronavirus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroids: There is so much that we don’t know still about this virus but corticosteroids definitely suppress the immune system and make us more vulnerable to a lot of infections including Covid. All other immunosuppressive medications can also make you vulnerable.
