To our knowledge, GMA has a good safety profile; serious adverse effects are rarely reported. Its modes of action together with the findings of this case report support our notion that GMA is a relevant therapeutic option for patients with COVID-19 and warrants an immediate clinical trial to evaluate its full therapeutic efficacy in a large cohort of COVID-19 patients.
