Remdesivir for patients hospitalised due to COVID-19
|
| Broadcast content: |
|
The published policy has been updated to reflect remdesivir’s extended market authorisation to now cover adults and paediatric patients (at least 4 weeks of age and weighing at least 3 kg) with pneumonia requiring supplemental oxygen (low- or high-flow oxygen or other non-invasive ventilation at start of treatment), and following consideration of the recommendations of the updated World Health Organization clinical guideline. The linked clinical guide, summarising the main COVID treatment options available to patients admitted to hospital due to COVID, has been updated accordingly to support clinical decision making.
