s Can Cannabinoids Suppress the Cytokines Cascade in Patients with Coronavirus Disease COVID-19? A Mini-Review

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, started in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and became a global pandemic. According to WHO, more than fourteen million cases were reported and thousands of casualties worldwide (until July 18, 2020). Most of the COVID-19 patients have symptoms such as fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Some people may also experience body aches, nasal congestion, a runny nose, and diarrhea. So far, doctors have been using treatment to relieve symptoms and give patients' immune systems time to regain control of this virus. Many studies have highlighted the important role of cytokine cascades in the death rate in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, inhibition of this phenomenon has become a very important target in the clinical management of this disease. With this idea, in this mini-review, we will focus on the potential role of cannabinoids in the suppression of cytokines cascades in patients with COVID-19 and their importance in the clinical management of this disease.
