Give a short and critical explanation of the rationale of using fluvixamine in treatment of covid 19?

Fluvixamine is a selective serotonin inhibitor that is used for the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder and depression. It can also be used in covid 19 patients due to its anti-inflammatory effects. It has an affinity for binding to sigma 1 receptor in immune cells, resulting in reduction of the production of inflammatory cytokines( NIH. 2021).
