Management of remdesivir extravasation
Extract:
“As far as we concerned, this is the first reported case of remdesivir extravasation with successful management in the literature treated with only dry warm. As described recently, hyaluronidase could be also an option after infiltration of acidic drugs to disperse and dilute the infiltrated drug (specially high amount of drugs) [1, 4]. However, local injections of hyaluronidase can cause side effects such as local pruritus and allergic reactions [5].”
