Setting: South East Hospital and Research Center, Islamabad, Pakistan. Period: December 2020 to July 2021. Material & Methods: 100 patients were included in this study who received Remedisvir infusion, day 5, 7, and 10 after admitting the hospital with COVID-19 symptoms. We infuse 200mg I/V Remedisvir in 100cc N/S followed by 100mg I/V daily into 100cc N/S. After infusion, all patients were monitored strictly. Results: The mean age of the patients was (51. 89±15.441). The outcome of Remedisvir showed that 14% improved their condition, 42% discharged with oxygen, 27% discharged without oxygen, and only 17% expired). Remedisvir showed a positive effect at (p≤0.001) among laboratory values and oxygen support category. Conclusion: When patient suffering from COVID-19 symptoms and low oxygen saturation show good clinical outcome treated with Remedisvir.
