ASHP continues to rapidly update their COVID-19 resource center. On the website, you can find information related to leadership, pharmacy workforce, patient care, policy and advocacy and infection prevention. This is also a COVID-19 connect community for pharmacists to post and reply to questions from the field.


One of the most active and fluid resources is the “Assessment of Evidence for COVID-19 Related Treatments.” ASHP has been updating this extremely valuable resource every few days as additional evidence is discovered.


The drugs are categorized by antiviral agents, supporting agents, and other. The evidence table contains the drug, AHFS class, usage rationale, dosage information, and additional comments from ASHP. This is an extremely important resource as data rapidly changes day to day.
