Remdesivir

Remdesivir is an antiviral medication developed to treat certain viral infections, notably COVID-19. It works by interfering with the virus's ability to replicate its genetic material, which is essential for the virus to multiply and spread in the body. By blocking this process, remdesivir can help reduce the severity and duration of illness in infected individuals. It is usually administered intravenously in hospital settings and has been used to improve outcomes in hospitalized patients, especially those with more severe symptoms.
