This study aims to analyze the effectiveness and safety of Avigan® (favipiravir) compared to Oseltamivir as an adjuvant therapy among adult COVID-19 patients. This study will be conducted in a hospital setting, recruiting adult COVID-19 patients with mild, moderate, and severe symptoms. Subjects will be randomly given Favipiravir or Oseltamivir as an adjuvant therapy to standard COVID-19 treatment. Patients will be followed up for 21 days after the first dose of intervention given. The primary outcomes of this study are the improvement of radiology results and RT PCR negative conversion during follow up. The secondary outcomes are adverse events, hospital length of stay (LOS), and Case fatality rate (CFR)

The favipiravir group received loading dose of 1600 mg twice a day (3200 mg/day) on the first day and continued with 600 mg twice a day (1200 mg/day) for the next 2nd - 7th day in addition to the standard therapy. Standard therapy: administration of azithromycin 500 mg/day or levofloxacin 750 mg/day for 5 days, chloroquine (either Sulphur-based chloroquine 600 mg/day or chloroquine phosphate 100 mg/day or hydroxychloroquine 400 mg/day) for 5-7 days, vitamin C, oxygen therapy according to the patients clinical condition, comorbid therapy and other symptomatic treatment such as antipyretic drug
The oseltamivir group was given twice a day of 75 mg of oseltamivir (150 mg/day) for 7 days in addition to standard therapy Standard therapy: administration of azithromycin 500 mg/day or levofloxacin 750 mg/day for 5 days, chloroquine (either Sulphur-based chloroquine 600 mg/day or chloroquine phosphate 100 mg/day or hydroxychloroquine 400 mg/day) for 5-7 days, vitamin C, oxygen therapy according to the patients clinical condition, comorbid therapy and other symptomatic treatment such as antipyretic drug
