 US President Donald Trump’s physician, Sean P. Conley, released a memo Friday afternoon saying the president had received an investigational antibody cocktail and was taking a number of vitamins and minerals to help keep him healthy. The president was also administered the FDA-approved drug Remdesivir.

Specifically, Trump received a single eight-gram dose of Regeneron’s polyclonal antibody cocktail, REG-COV2, Conley said, and the company confirmed in a statement sent to The Jerusalem Post. The company’s website explains that REG-COV2 is a combination of two monoclonal antibodies designed specifically to block infectivity of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
