Washington. La agencia reguladora de medicamentos de Estados Unidos (FDA) dio este jueves una autorización plena al medicamento antiviral remdesivir para ser usado en el tratamiento de enfermos hospitalizados por covid-19, confirmando la autorización condicional acordada en mayo, informó el fabricante Gilead.

El laboratorio anunció que recibió la autorización para el medicamento y destacó que de momento se trata del único tratamiento específico contra la covid-19 aprobado tras un proceso de verificación más riguroso y definitivo.
