Pharmacological Effort and Medication Approaches for the Management of COVID-19 Pandemic in Nepal .

COVID-19 pandemic has created a long-lasting effect on different aspects of peoples' life. Several efforts were made by Nepal for the management of the COVID-19 surge. This study intended to compile the pharmacological efforts adopted for the prevention and management of COVID-19 during its pandemic in Nepal. A comprehensive study was performed from 10th May to 25th May 2021. Altogether, 25 documents, three guidelines, and 30 articles were assessed and analysed in this study. The major pharmacological steps for the prevention of COVID-19 were seen through vaccination campaigns, the development of guidelines, and the use of repurposed drugs (Remdesivir, corticosteroids, anticoagulants etc). Significant pharmacological steps were seen in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 in Nepal during the pandemic. With the limited resources, Nepal’s action against COVID-19 seemed to be impressive; however, more efforts are demanded to combat similar situations in the future.
