Combination vitamin C, hydrocortisone and thiamine no better than hydrocortisone alone for resolution of septic shock, study suggests

In this novel randomized controlled trial, investigators have evaluated the comparative effectiveness of combination vitamin C, hydrocortisone and thiamine versus hydrocortisone alone for the treatment of septic shock. Researchers have determined that both regimens are seemingly equally effective. Led by investigators from Monash University (Melbourne, Australia), an international team of researchers has conducted a new randomized controlled trial evaluating the comparative effectiveness of combination vitamin C, hydrocortisone and thiamine versus hydrocortisone alone for the treatment of septic shock. The results of the study suggest that both treatment regimens are seemingly equally effective. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition responsible for over...
