Abstract

Since the first cases of COVID-19 were reported from China the disease became pandemic within a few months. The viral genome was sequenced soon after the outbreak of COVID-19 which enabled development of diagnostic tests and therapeutic options. As the knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 virology increased, many potential drugs appeared. At this moment (January 12th 2021), 4426 studies of COVID-19 are registered, and more than 2680 studies are investigating therapeutic options. This is a short narrative review of currently available evidence on pharmacological treatment of COVID-19.
