The injections and colds in Egypt

A person in Egypt died as a result of receiving what is known as the "Hitler injection," which is an injection used for the rapid treatment of colds and influenza.

This injection is widely used without a prescription in many areas of Egypt, especially in remote villages. It provides a quick feeling of improvement, but most people are unaware of its risks.

This injection consists of an antibiotic, cortisone, and vitamins.

It is a formulation that is not based on scientific principles and is not licensed for the treatment of colds.

Of course, antibiotics are not beneficial in treating colds because colds are caused by viruses, while antibiotics are used to treat infections caused by bacteria or fungi.

In addition, the use of antibiotics without medical supervision can cause allergic shock, which can lead to death if not treated quickly.

Cortisone is not used to treat cases of influenza and the common cold.

It is used to reduce severe swelling and pain in cases of acute pneumonia, and its use should be supervised by a doctor due to its numerous side effects.

The Egyptian Ministry of Health has warned citizens against taking the "Hitler injection" under any circumstances, as this formulation can cause a severe drop in blood pressure, leading to cardiac arrest.

The ministry has also warned against taking any injections or medications directly from pharmacies without consulting a specialized doctor, as treatment depends primarily on an accurate diagnosis.
