      ab: Objective: The present paper aimed at discussing the advances of pharmacological treatment of COVID-19 and highlighting the recent findings reported by either international medical bodies or specialized pharmacological research groups. Method: The study adopted the narrative review approach through exploring and analyzing the findings reported in literature during the period of COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to providing commentary notes regarding the released statements of pharmacological research groups. Findings: The findings of the study revealed that there is a significant advancement in COVID-19 therapy. However, still there is a significant lack of a single research-based evidence that the released or suggested drugs are effectively eradicating the COVID-19 viral infection. Conclusion: The study concluded that commitment to the announced precautionary measures at the meantime remains the most appropriate action to be taken until a reliable research-based evidence is released regarding the effectiveness of the pharmacological treatments of COVID-19 infection.
