Q. What is Covid-19?
Coronavirus disease 2019, better known as Covid-19, is an illness of the lungs caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2), which is seen to infect humans for the very first time. Covid-19 is a highly infectious viral disease that spreads from one person to another at a very fast pace. Persons suffering from Covid-19 are likely to have breathing difficulties, fever and cough as the major symptoms.
Q. What is Remdiz 100mg Injection? What is it used for?
Remdiz 100mg Injection is a medicine that belongs to a class of medicines called antiviral medicines. In recent laboratory studies, Remdiz 100mg Injection has shown to be effective in managing hospitalized patients suffering from severe Covid-19 infection. Although Remdiz 100mg Injection has not been approved for treating Covid-19 patients, some studies suggest that patients who were treated with Remdiz 100mg Injection showed faster recovery compared to those who were taking some other treatment. However, the safety and efficiency of Remdiz 100mg Injection in the treatment of Covid-19 is yet to be established and there are many clinical trials going on for the same.
Q. What is Emergency Use Authorization?
Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is a declaration issued by the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDA) to use certain medicines, vaccines or devices to diagnose, treat or prevent a serious medical condition (such as Covid-19 in the current scenario) in case there is an outbreak of such an illness that poses threat to public health. FDA may not approve the use of any such medical measures but may still allow it to be used against the illness weighing the benefits against the risks involved.
Q. How is Remdiz 100mg Injection administered?
Remdiz 100mg Injection is administered only in hospitalized patients, both children as well as adults, who have severe Covid-19 infection, as an injection intravenously (into a vein) by a doctor only and should not be self-administered. Severe Covid-19 infection means those patients whose oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≤94% on room air or those who require supplemental oxygen, mechanical ventilation, and/or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get maximum benefit from Remdiz 100mg Injection.
Q. Who can be treated with Remdiz 100mg Injection?

Remdiz 100mg Injection is still being studied in the various ongoing clinical trials. So far, it is seen that Remdiz 100mg Injection inhibits replication of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes Covid-19), a process by which this virus multiplies and helps in spreading the infection. In this way the amount of virus in the human body decreases, thereby leading to faster recovery.
Q. What are the possible side effects of Remdiz 100mg Injection?
The possible side effects of Remdiz 100mg Injection may be anemia (low number of red blood cells), fever, kidney damage, nausea, vomiting, shivering, sweating, low blood pressure and increased levels of liver enzymes. However, these are not all of the side effects of Remdiz 100mg Injection and we are yet to know more of the side effects. Remdiz 100mg Injection and its use in treating Covid-19 is still being studied and evaluated. Therefore, it is important to know that there might be more risks involved with the use of Remdiz 100mg Injection.
Q. Is Remdiz 100mg Injection safe?
There is limited data available to support the safety or effectiveness of Remdiz 100mg Injection in managing hospitalized patients with severe Covid-19 patients. Its use has been permitted for treating severely infected hospitalized patients, both adults and children, only after weighing the benefits against the possible side effects and risks involved. However, there are various ongoing clinical trials and the safety of Remdiz 100mg Injection is yet to be established in patients receiving it.

Your doctor will decide what is best for you depending on your condition.
Q. What should I tell my doctor before receiving Remdiz 100mg Injection?

This is because Remdiz 100mg Injection may affect or be affected by the way other medicines work. Especially tell your doctor if you are taking any medicines containing chloroquine phosphate or hydroxychloroquine sulfate. Additionally, you should inform your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding to prevent any harm to the baby.
Q. I have diabetes and high blood pressure, can I take Remdiz 100mg Injection to prevent Covid-19?
No. Remdiz 100mg Injection should not be used to prevent Covid-19. There is no data available for its role in preventing Covid-19.
Q. Can Remdiz 100mg Injection be given to a highly suspected patient who is COVID negative on all reports?
Remdiz 100mg Injection has been approved by Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) in view of the ongoing pandemic for emergency use only.
