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 asks that the price of the drug be kept low and points out that, according to the calculations of the consortium, it should cost a little more than 10 euros for treatment for 10 days. “But how expensive it will be later is another matter,” he said.
