Remdesivir backed to be first treatment for Covid-19 in Europe

As the search for a vaccine continues, experts are relying on existing drugs for Covid-19 treatment. Doctors in Europe will soon be using remdesivir as a targeted therapy. Doctors in Europe will soon be using Gilead’s antiviral drug, remdesivir, as a targeted treatment for Covid-19 after European authorities’ endorsement put the drug on track to become the first therapy for Covid-19 on the continent, Reuters reported on 25 June 2020.Remdesivir, an antiviral drug, failed to treat Ebola in the past, but showed successful pre-clinical results against SARS and MERS.

As Covid-19 emerged, Gilead decided to dig up this data and give remdesivir a new lease on life. Now, Europe has given the go-ahead for doctors to use remdesivir as an official Covid-19 treatment. Experts have been divided on the exact effect of remdesivir on the novel coronavirus, saying that it might not have the wanted results and may do little to treat Covid-19, even though early clinical trials did offer a glimmer of hope.
