Remdisvir for covid pneumonoa, any first hand knowledge?

First of all I know how dangerious it is. But my neighbors wife, 55yrs old, otherwise healthy developed double pneumonia after covid. She is now in the small town hospital because all larger ones are full and cant get a bed. She has been there 3 days now, o2 levels in 70s at night, oxygen on 6-9 help bring it up but they dip. Saying she is retaining fluid from steroids and showing some heart enlargements. Her daughter just said they are about to give her some anti viral drug that could shut down her kidneys (i assume remdisvir) i imagine this is last ditch effort to keep off vent. So anyway, does anyone have ANY success stories here? Longshot obv

Ivermectin for the win.
RDVR will kill her kidneys.

What if I told you there was a drug that basically failed its clinical trial to the point that they had to restate its endpoints and even then struggled to get approved despite multiple people who had ties to its development being part of the review process?
What if I also told you that drug was later linked to a 20x increase in kidney failure and has failed to show much if any in reduction in mortality?
Does that sound like a drug you would want to take?

Dude, you don't know unless you try. Also, I have a friend that's brother was being killed by the hospital, legit. His brother went in for having seizures and passing out. Once in the hospital they tested him for covid. Ended up putting him on vent. The family demanded they stop current treatment and dammit if the brother wasn't well the and off the vent the next day.
Make them do the treatment her family wants.

She will need constant kidney function tests to make sure WHEN reduction in function occurs that they are at least aware its happening.
Do not make the mistake of assuming they will check without you asking or even if you do, but you need to try.
Everything I've read recently indicates that Ivermectin, HCQ and Famotidine are more effective early, once the infection sets in they do not have the same impact and that steroids and other treatments should be considered but I am not an MD or Anthony Fauci so proceed at your own risk.

My grandfather had the same general issues at the hospital for double Covid pneumonia and had the remdisvir treatment. They would not give Ivermectin. We laid him to rest 01/07/2022. Hopefully it turns out better for your neighbors wife. My grandfather had 4 cormorbitities. He refused the vent which because he knew it was more than likely a death sentence.

The nurses my wife works with call it run death is near. She will die of organ failure if they give it to her..

I watched part of the testimony from Nicole Sirotek (nurse and founder of American Frontline Nurses) and I believe she said there’s less than 20% chance of a good outcome with Remdisivir. It was very low.

It means she has not had any previous healthy problems until covid. Now she had double pneumonia, retainin fluid and heart issues from sterids

It’s probably too late for Remdisivir to work on Covid, it will just kill the kidneys at this point. Real early, maybe……. But haven’t had any good experiences with It TBH

Yea im afraid this is last ditch effort thing. Horrible

Given to me when hospitalized - was no help nor no harm.
Believe the plasma loaded with covid antibodies plus a lot of prayer healed me

Wife had double pneumonia and was in ICU from covid. Was given Remdisivir and got better after 3 days.
No problems since, that we know of.
