About the Project
Antivirals and immunosuppressive drugs are treatment for COVID-19 but concerns remain on COVID-19 related drug adverse events. The aim of this research project is to assess the long-term effectiveness and safety of antivirals and immunosuppressants used among COVID-19 patients who were discharged from hospitals in Hong Kong. Investigated drugs will be corticosteroid, antivirals (remdesivir, molnupiravir, paxlovid) and antirheumatic agents.
