Steroid is helpful in many cases of covid  but is not a substitute for remdisvir. Both must be used on individual patient needs under proper guidance of physician.

Both are different drugs and both are used for covid treatment. You can't use one instead of the other. But both may have benefit. Depends on the condition of the patient
