The preparation Remdesivir is expected to be available soon., in a few weeks or a few months, in the fight against the coronavirus, says the German professor of infectious diseases at the University of Cologne Gerd Fetkenhoeer.
According to Koelner Stadt-Anzeiger, as head of the German research team at the international consortium studying Remdesivir, a drug originally developed for the Ebola virus, the drug will soon be available in sufficient quantities. while studies, which are progressing at a “record pace”, are at a very advanced stage.
“The drug works. We have found that it limits the serious development of Covid-19,” said Mr. Fetkenhoeer, adding that although no serious side effects have been reported, the drug should be further investigated for better use.
At the same time, the German scientist asked that the price of the drug be kept low, noting that according to the consortium’s calculations, its treatment would cost a little more than 10 euros for 10 days. “But how expensive it will be later is another matter,” he said.
