Experimental drug remdesivir has been authorized by US regulators for emergency use against Covid-19 – President Trump
In this file photo one vial of the drug Remdesivir is viewed during a press conference about the start of a study with the Ebola drug Remdesivir in particularly severely ill patients at the University Hospital Eppendorf in Hamburg, northern Germany on April 8, 2020, amidst the new coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic.
It comes after the antiviral made by Gilead Sciences was shown in a major clinical trial to shorten the time to recovery in some coronavirus patients, the first time any medicine has had a proven benefit against the disease. "We are humbled with this first step for hospitalized patients," said O'Day, adding: "We want to make sure nothing gets in the way of these patients getting the medicine."This amounts to about 140,000 treatment courses based on a 10-day treatment duration.
The new move allows it to be distributed far more widely and used in both adults and children who are hospitalized with a severe form of Covid-19.
