Snippet: WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE: Understanding investigational medications is important. Many older drugs are being investigated for repurposing against COVIDâ€19. We comment on various drugs currently undergoing such trials to optimize their safe use.

Document: WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE: Understanding investigational medications is important. Many older drugs are being investigated for repurposing against COVIDâ€19. We comment on various drugs currently undergoing such trials to optimize their safe use. COMMENT: We describe medications used during early COVIDâ€19 outbreaks in South Korea, focusing on practice aspects including the method of drug administration, drug formulation, patientâ€monitoring for adverse reactions and drug interactions informed by our experience during the 2015 outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). We comment on hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir with zinc supplement, remdesivir, tocilizumab, ciclesonide, niclosamide and highâ€dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION: Effective therapies are urgently needed to manage COVIDâ€19, and existing drugs such as antivirals and antimalarials are under investigation for repurposing to meet this need. This process requires upâ€toâ€date drug information to ensure optimum use, particularly safety and efficacy profiles of the medications, until convincing evidence is reported.
