Commonly used treatments for COVID-19 and therapies with emergency use authorizations During a public health emergency, such as COVID-19, the FDA can issue an emergency use authorization (EUA) to help make new medications and medical products more available to patients. Having an EUA does not mean that the FDA has approved the medication or product. Rather, the intent of an EUA is to make it easier for patients to receive a new potential treatment when no other options are available.
