Covid-19 Remdesivir for patients with COVID-19 (Adults and Adolescents 12 years and older) (1021)

Remdesivir is an adenosine nucleotide prodrug that is metabolised intracellularly to form the pharmacologically active substrate remdesivir triphosphate. Remdesivir triphosphate inhibits SARS-CoV-2 RNA polymerase which perturbs viral replication.

Current evidence shows that remdesivir improves clinical outcomes in both hospitalised and non-hospitalised patients with COVID-19.
