Remdesivir is an anti-viral drug that was manufactured in 2014 to fight the Ebola virus and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).
Remdesivir is injected intravenously and it subsumes itself into the genetic material of the virus and prevents the replicating enzyme from making new copies of the virus.
USES
Remdesivir is an investigational drug being studied to treat coronavirus infection, also known as COVID-19. It has not been approved by the FDA for general use. However, the FDA is now allowing remdesivir to be used in human studies and for emergency use in certain hospitalized patients. More information should be provided by the doctor from either the Informed Consent form for a study or the FDA Fact Sheet for Patients and Parents/Caregivers for emergency use.

The information in this document reflects preliminary and emerging data, which is evolving and subject to reassessment.
