Abstract


Treatments for COVID-19 infection have varied widely within the past year. Remdesivir is the only direct-acting antiviral approved by the Food and Drug Administration with demonstrated efficacy in the management of patients with COVID-19.[1] Commonly reported adverse effects include hepatotoxicity and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea. Less common adverse effects include respiratory toxicity, cardiovascular toxicity and nephrotoxicity.[2] We report a case of international normalized ratio (INR) prolongation in a COVID-19 patient receiving concomitant warfarin and remdesivir therapy.
