Talk:Remdesivir

Semi-protected edit request on 2 October 2023
Remdesivir is an antiviral agent with positive effects on the prognosis of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). However, there are concerns about the detrimental effects of remdesivir on kidney function which might consequently lead to Acute Kidney Injury (AKI).13 Apr. 2023 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov › pmc Acute kidney injury in COVID-19 patients receiving remdesivir - NCBI 102.130.28.14 (talk) 08:38, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

 * presuming you mean https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10099148/ this, their conclusion was "Our study suggested that remdesivir treatment probably has little or no effect on the risk of AKI in COVID-19 patients." Cannolis (talk) 11:49, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

A little late here but,
I was surprised reading this article that there was very little mention of any of the past criticism of this drug. It sounds like it has had a lot of supporters and detractors since 2020, yet there is very little mention of any of the previous criticism (a couple sentences from what I read). The WHO recently walked back their criticism of the drug WHO recommends against the use of remdesivir in COVID-19 patients

And another recent article supports its use, along with the trials that WHO cites "Study Supports Use of Remdesivir for COVID-19 Patients on Low-Flow Oxygen or No Oxygen (hopkinsmedicine.org)"

So my question is: if the general scientific consensus has agreed that Remdesivir does work, does that mean there is little need of much discussion on any previous detractions or concerns about its quick approval? I would be of the opinion that the FDA not convening outside panels for this drug is notable, but I would like to know what this articles frequent editors think.

 * Any good sources giving an overview? So far as I can see the modern view is that remdesevir is a bit rubbish for COVID. Bon courage (talk) 19:14, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
