Talk:Remdesivir

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. 2023https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov › pmcAcute 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)

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.[1] Bon courage (talk) 19:14, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
