Remdesivir: A drug that was developed to treat other viral infections, such as the Ebola virus, and is also being tested for effectiveness in treating COVID-19.
Dextamethasone: an anti-inflammatory steroid that has shown positive results in reducing mortality in severely ill patients with COVID-19.
Monoclonal antibodies: Medicines that can help the immune system fight the virus are being tested for effectiveness and safety in treating COVID-19.
Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine: These drugs initially attracted attention, but subsequent studies have not confirmed their effectiveness and even revealed potential harmful side effects.
