This is currently the only approved oral small molecule treatment drug for new coronavirus pneumonia in my country, which can be used to treat adult patients with ordinary novel coronavirus pneumonia.

Azvdine is a nucleoside analog that inhibits viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). It specifically acts on the new coronavirus RdRp to achieve the purpose of inhibiting viral replication. In July 2021, Azvdin has obtained conditional approval for conjunction with other reverse transcriptase inhibitor to treat adult HIV-infected patients with high viral load. This time, it was approved as a conditional approval for a new indication.
According to clinical experimental data, Azvdin showed good therapeutic effects on mild, moderate and severe patients with COVID-19 at a daily dose of 5 mg per person, and the half-life in target cells exceeds 120 hours.
