NEWS: The American drug REMDESIVIR authorized in hospitals by the FDA :
The White House has announced that the pharmaceutical laboratory "Gilead Sciences" has obtained authorization from the United States Administration for the Regulation of Food and Pharmaceutical Products (FDA) for emergency use of REMDESIVIR. This authorization allows hospitals to use REMDESIVIR for severe cases of Covid-19 who require oxygen or breathing devices, for example, without having to participate in a clinical trial.

The drug will be distributed as a priority in hospitals in the cities most affected by the pandemic "It is reasonable to think that REMDESIVIR can be effective against Covid-19 and that given that there are no adequate alternative treatments , approved or available, the known and potential benefits of treating this severe and lethal coronavirus outweigh the known and potential risks posed by the use of the drug, "said the FDA.
