(Reuters). Britain’s GSK and Vir announced Friday that the trial of their anti-inflammatory COVID-19 medication was successful when it was administered by standard infusion. It could offer greater convenience.

GSK indicated that they would speak with global regulators (including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) about approval for intramuscular injectable injection. It can be performed by family physicians and will save the patient a trip to the hospital.

Sotrovimab can be used in an emergency situation to stop mild-to-moderate cases of COVID-19 worsening. Even though EU approval has yet to be granted, the European Medicines Agency approved Sotrovimab for member states.

Eli Lilly (NYSE) Regeneron (NASDAQ), and AstraZeneca are offering similar products or developing them.

Eli Lilly has so far only used drip or infusion to administer his therapy. AstraZeneca’s anti-infective drug is under investigation to potentially prevent infections. However, intramuscular shots are the only way it can be delivered. The product of Regeneron and Roche can be administered as either an injection or infusion under the skin. This is most commonly in the abdomen.
