Drugs: Remdesivir

Remdesivir is an antiviral medication developed to treat infections caused by certain viruses, including COVID-19. It works by interfering with the virus’s ability to replicate its genetic material, thus reducing the amount of virus in the body and helping the immune system fight the infection more effectively. Administered intravenously, remdesivir is typically used in hospitalized patients with severe illness. While it may shorten recovery time for some COVID-19 patients, its effectiveness can vary, and it is usually part of a comprehensive treatment plan monitored by healthcare professionals.
