Ideal sources for Wikipedia's health content are defined in the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Remdesivir.

PubMed provides review articles from the past five years (limit to free review articles)
The TRIP database provides clinical publications about evidence-based medicine.
Other potential sources include: Centre for Reviews and Dissemination and CDC

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

Deletion of sourced material

Hi @Smokefoot: I would appreciate it if you could please double-check your edit, as it removed a significant amount of sourced material, most of which was unrelated to patents. Thanks, Boghog (talk) 12:11, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
