Veru’s progress has already drawn notice, and optimistic expectations have been realized. The US Food and Medication Administration has authorized the antiviral drug sabizabulin (FDA). So far, we’ve only discussed emergency usage in the event of severe COVID-19, but given the ongoing epidemic, this is a huge achievement.
The medicine sabizabulin is used to lower the risk of mortality in patients who have a high risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome, which can lead to the requirement for a ventilator.
Veru’s medicine is oral, meaning it comes in the shape of pills that can be swallowed, which makes it much easier to take. During the fall-winter season, when a rise in COVID-19 cases is expected, Veru management forecasts high growth in sabizabulin sales.
Sabizabulin has not yet been fully approved by the FDA, and it can only be used in the most serious circumstances. Clinical trials using sabizabulin, on the other hand, appear encouraging. The medication reduced mortality in hospitalized patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 by 55 percent in phase III studies.
VERU is currently expanding its medicine manufacturing capacity and working to gain worldwide regulatory approval. VERU shares may have a strong upward momentum if sales begin successfully.
