Tecovirimat, also known as TPOXX, is the first antiviral treatment approved for smallpox, and it's making strides in treating orthopoxvirus infections like mpox (monkeypox). In this video, we provide an in-depth review of the mechanism of action, clinical uses, dosing, and side effects of tecovirimat, along with its role in managing emerging viral outbreaks. With growing concerns over zoonotic diseases and bioterrorism, understanding tecovirimat's efficacy and safety profile is essential for healthcare providers. Learn how tecovirimat targets the VP37 envelope protein to inhibit viral spread, making it a vital tool in orthopoxvirus management. Whether you're a clinician looking to expand your knowledge on antiviral agents or preparing for upcoming cases of viral infections, this video provides high-yield, evidence-based information. Stay updated on the latest CDC guidelines and FDA approvals for tecovirimat. Subscribe for more medical insights!
