Remdesivir is a nucleoside analog that is expected to inhibit the action of RNA polymerase.3 By incorporating into RNA, additional nucleotides cannot be added, terminating RNA transcription.3 Viruses with mutations in RNA polymerase to develop partial resistance to remdesivir have been shown to be less infective.
Dosing was predicted to be twice daily to maintain therapeutic concentrations required for treatment of CoV infections.2 However, current clinical trials will use a regimen of 200mg once daily on the first day, followed by 100mg once daily for another 9 days.6,7,8
Remdesivir is predominantly metabolized to a triphosphate metabolite.
Data regarding overdoses of remdesivir are not readily available. Overdoses of other nucleoside analogs like acyclovir can be managed with symptomatic and supportive treatment.

Remdesivir, or GS-5734, is an adenosine triphosphate analog first described in the literature in 2016 as a potential treatment for Ebola.1 In 2017, its activity against the coronavirus family of viruses was also demonstrated.2 Remdesivir is also being researched as a potential treatment to SARS-CoV2, the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19.4
