INTRODUCTION. To expand the range of the pantohematogen based drugs usage, to develop indications for their use in various forms and methods, scientific research is necessary and appropriate on evaluation of the effectiveness of the antler drugs use for the rehabilitation of patients with post-coronavirus syndrome, which is detected in most patients after the coronavirus infection COVID-19 and is characterized by various changes in metabolism and hemostasis, autonomic nervous system, external respiration, indicators of central and peripheral hemodynamics, reduced exercise tolerance, quality of life and working capacity of patients.

AIM. To scientifically establish and develop of a comprehensive program of COVID-rehabilitation of patients with the use of pantohematogen at the sanatorium-resort stage.

MATERIAL AND METHODS. We conducted randomized study in parallel groups. The study included women aged 39 to 65 years (mean age 53.9±1.18 years) – 30 patients. The rehabilitation program of the patients who had pneumonia associated with COVID-19

novel coronary virus infection was evaluated 3-4 months after the disease.

The comparison group received the same rehabilitation program, but without the use of pantohematogen.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. According to the severity of post-COVID pneumonia, 66.6% were diagnosed…
