Dexamethasone being seen as a better alternative to Remdesivir

Doctors are trying to use a number of approaches to curb the spread and save lives, including convalescent plasma therapy (CPT), a combination of drugs like hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), Remdesivir and other anti-viral medications.

However, experts believe that the one drug which might be most promising is a cheap inflammation-fighting drug, Dexamethasone. It has emerged as a life-saving drug in COVID-19 treatment as it was capable of lessening the inflammation in moderate and severe patients.
