Remdesivir Archived Message Posted by Mary on April 1, 2020, 1:27 pm A drug that could help treat coronavirus is to be trialled on a small number of patients in England and Scotland. The studies, which have been fast-tracked by the government, will initially involve 15 NHS centres. In the absence of a known treatment for the virus, a handful of experimental drugs are being tested globally. The drug, known as remdesivir, is manufactured by the pharmaceutical company Gilead. Two studies are to be carried out in the UK - one on patients with moderate symptoms, and one on those who are in a serious condition.://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52111674 Message Thread: Remdesivir - Mary April 1, 2020, 1:27 pm Beeb misleading again.
