US President Donald Trump was treated with an antibody cocktail after his corona infection.

The president had received a dose of synthetic antibodies from the US pharmaceutical company Regeneron, said Trump's personal physician Sean Conley in a statement published by the White House on Friday.

This is a "precautionary measure".

The President also takes zinc, vitamin D, melatonin, a drug used to combat sleep disorders, the acid inhibitor famotidine and a daily aspirin.

"The president is tired but in good spirits," writes Conley.

Trump is being examined by a team of experts who will submit further treatment proposals.

Trump's wife Melania, who is also infected with the corona virus, only has "a slight cough and headache," said the White House doctor.

Trump announced on Friday night that he and his wife had tested positive for the corona virus.

The President is therefore in quarantine in the White House, his personal election campaign appointments were initially suspended.

Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said the president had "mild symptoms".
