There's buzz about #Glenmark new drug #Favipiravir for #COVID__19
Do we have the data based on which approval was granted? @CDSCO_INDIA_INF
Given the desperate situation, physicians & patients are likely to flock to get this, but do we have some hard outcomes to show it helps?
I tried to find published studies on #Favipiravir but haven't yet found supportive data in the searches I did. Would be grateful if someone could point out the evidence. And I hope it's not a single arm study where x% improved because x% could have improved anyway.
If our standards for other drugs are well conducted randomized trials, let's not lower the bar for #Favipiravir just because someone's marketing it, and we don't have any eligible candidates at hand. #EvidenceBasedMedicine
