Government asks drug makers to ramp up Remdesivir production to full capacity

The government on Wednesday said that all seven manufacturers of Remdesivir in the country have been asked to ramp up production to full capacity by next week. The direction comes against reports of shortages of the critical drug.

Remdesivir is considered a key antiviral drug in the fight against COVID-19, especially in adult patients with severe complications.
