Read moreEmergency use of Ramdivir 5 mg/ml for treatment of suspected or laboratory confirmed Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Severe disease is defined as patients with an oxygen saturation (Sp02) <94% on room air or requiring supplemental oxygen or requiring mechanical ventilation or requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Specifically, Ramdivir 5 mg/ml is only authorized for hospitalized adult and pediatric patients for whom use of an intravenous agent is clinically appropriate.

Anti-viral drugs
Pharmacology
Ramdivir 5 mg/ml is a nucleoside analog that is expected to inhibit the action of RNA polymerase.
Absorption
By incorporating into RNA, additional nucleotides cannot be added, terminating RNA transcription.
Distribution
Viruses with mutations in RNA polymerase to develop partial resistance to Ramdivir 5 mg/ml have been shown to be less infective.
Dosage & Administration of Ramdivir 5 mg/ml
The FDA Emergency Use Authorization suggests a loading dose of 200 mg once daily in patients ≥ 40 kg or 5 mg/kg once daily in patients 3.5 kg to less than 40 kg, followed by a maintenance dose of 100 mg once daily in patients ≥ 40 kg or 2.5 mg/kg once daily in patients 3.5 kg to less than 40 kg. Patients not needing invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) should be treated for 5 days (including the loading dose on day 1), up to 10 days if they do not show improvement. Patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO should be treated for 10 days.Clinical trials used a regimen of 200mg once daily on the first day, followed by 100mg once daily for another 9 days. Early data suggests that some patients may benefit from only 5 days of treatment.Ramdivir 5 mg/ml was originally investigated as a treatment for Ebola virus, but has potential to treat a variety of RNA viruses. Its activity against the coronavirus (CoV) family of viruses, such as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, was described in 2017, and it is also being investigated as a potential treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Administer a body weight-based dosing regimen of one loading dose of Ramdivir 5 mg/ml 5 mg/kg IV (infused over 30 to 120 minutes) on day 1 followed by Ramdivir 5 mg/ml 2.5 mg/kg IV (infused over 30 to 120 minutes) once daily for 9 days (for pediatric patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation and/or ECMO, days 2 through 5). If a patient dose not demonstrate clinical improvement, treatment may be extended for up to 5 additional days (i.e. up to a total of 10 days)
For pediatric patients with body weight ≥40 kg requiring invasive mechanical ventilation and/or ECMO, the adult dosage regimen of one loading dose of Ramdivir 5 mg/ml 200 mg IV (infused over 30 to 120 minutes) on day 1 followed by Ramdivir 5 mg/ml 100 mg IV (infused over 30 to 120 minutes) once daily for 9 days will be administered.
For pediatric patients with body weight ≥40 kg requiring invasive mechanical ventilation and/or ECMO, the adult dosage regimen of one loading dose of Ramdivir 5 mg/ml 200 mg IV (infused over 30 to 120 minutes) on day 1 followed by Ramdivir 5 mg/ml 100 mg IV (infused over 30 to 120 minutes) once daily for 4 days (days 2 through 5) will be administered. If a patient does not demonstrate clinical improvement, treatment may be extended for up to 5 additional days (i.e. up to a total of 10 days).

Mode Of Action
Ramdivir 5 mg/ml is a preparation of Ramdivir 5 mg/ml. It is an adenosine nucleotide prodrug that distributes into cells where it is metabolized to form the pharmacologically active nucleoside triphosphate metabolite. Metabolism of Ramdivir 5 mg/ml to Ramdivir 5 mg/ml Triphosphate has been demonstrated in multiple cell types. Ramdivir 5 mg/ml Triphosphate act as an analogue of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and competes with the natural ATP substrate for incorporation into nascent RNA chains by the SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which results in delayed chain termination during replication of the viral RNA. Ramdivir 5 mg/ml triphosphate is a weak inhibitor of mammalian DNA and RNA polymerase with low potential for mitochondrial toxicity.
Pregnancy
No adequate and well controlled studies of Ramdivir 5 mg/ml use in pregnant women have been conducted. Ramdivir 5 mg/ml should be used in pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk for the mother fetus. There is no information regarding the presence of Ramdivir 5 mg/ml in human milk, the effects on the breastfeed infants, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for viral transmission of SARS-CoV-2 negative infants and adverse reactions from the drug in breastfeeding infants, the development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for Ramdivir 5 mg/ml and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from Ramdivir 5 mg/ml or from the underlying maternal condition.
