The COVID-19 pandemic is primarily affecting women and girls, who are bearing the brunt of pandemic related deaths, illnesses, and socio-economic burdens. The pandemic is also harming the health, social and economic well-being of women around the world, but women are leading the response and are making vital contributions to the pandemic response. Women are over-represented among the pandemic’s victims and far more likely than men to be caring for loved ones with pandemic-related illness, or managing the pandemic’s impacts on their families, communities and countries. In response, women are stepping up to lead the health response, and they are making critical contributions to the pandemic response and to the pandemic

To abate the spread of coronavirus, decisions were made one of which is restrictions of movement and public gatherings. This has led to drastic increase in poor lifestyle behaviours that are detrimental to health such as physical inactivity, these behaviours augment the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in individuals including patients with asthma. Asthma is well established as a risk factor for developing CVDs. Patients with asthma were physically inactive, limiting outdoor activities and regular physical activities during COVID-19 lockdown makes them more inactive. Therefore, these pandemic exposed individuals who are asthmatic to high risk of developing CVDs.

To date, no standard drug therapy has proven effective to counter COVID-19 disease. There are only hit and trial based on assumptions and weak evidence that are directing prescribing practices for asymptomatic to symptomatic and serious cases of COVID-19. ICMR being the apex body, responsible for framing the guidelines for the management of disease in India has not yet approved the use of combination doxycycline and ivermectin in the prophylaxis or treatment of Covid-19 cases but being used in the treatment of COVID-19 infection. Their adverse drug reactions individually are well known among scientific community. Doxycycline ADRs range from gastrointestinal, urogenital, neuropsychiatric, respiratory, nervous system to skin and appendages. We have reported a case of doxycycline induced drug allergy (rashes) all over the trunk and legs as a result of self-medication. The event happened after a female patient had complaints of persistent fever and weakness consumed doxycycline and ivermectin on her friend’s advice and developed rashes on her trunk and legs. The above ADE is very mild but alarming for the medical fraternity that warrants strict compliance with the electronic/text/online prescription. The usage of doxycycline and ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19 disease, as an indication of treatment should not be considered prior to any concrete evidence or issuance of treatment, guidelines by the apex body in India.

Human suffering through infections is inevitable. History has witnessed drastic negative impacts of infectious plagues which were primarily managed through prayers and latter through medicines. In spite of high technology at present COVID-19 and other resistant infections and diseases still pose a threat to global health and still is unchecked. Thus to combat it a modality Union therapy is conceptualized which synergistically uses the past and present medical techniques to cope up the COVID. It tries to merge the positive effects of supernatural medicine with modern medicine to make therapy comprehensive complete in all aspects. This effort would help to cope up new emerging diseases like COVID and in cases of palliative care where psychological aspects and the patient’s religious and spiritual needs play a role. Overall it will help to frame a bridge between past and present treatment modalities by scientifically assessing and merging the objective similarities in them. It will help to foster new areas and make therapy acceptable and accessible to a wide range of global population.
