Remdesivir Became the First Drug Approved for Coronavirus
Remdesivir became the first medicine approved for coronavirus. The drug, manufactured by Gilead Science, has received
FDA approval.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the antiviral drug Remdesivir, produced by Gilead Science, for the treatment of Coronavirus (
Covid-19).
The drug, which the regulators allowed for use in emergency situations at the beginning of 2020, has been used in the treatment of Coronavirus (Covid-19) since the beginning of the year. This drug was even used in the treatment of US President Donald Trump.
In the statement made by Gilead Science, "Veklury (remdesivir) is the first and only Covid-19 treatment approved in the USA."
On the other hand, no evidence was presented that the drug in question reduced deaths due to Coronavirus (Covid-19). In addition, the drug failed to achieve success in reducing the loss of life in the World Health Organization's experiment, according to the leading results announced last week.
The stocks of Gilead, which finished with an increase of 4.1 percent on Thursday and are traded in the US, increased by 7.10 percent in post-market transactions.
