How is Ebola treated?

In October 2020, the FDA approved the first treatment for Ebola. The new medication, Inmazeb™, combines three antibodies (atoltivimab, maftivimab and odesivimab-ebgn). Patients who take Inmazeb have a higher chance of survival.

Healthcare providers treat Ebola virus symptoms to improve the chance of survival.

Treatments include giving:

  • IV or fluids and electrolytes (body salts).
  • Medicine to control fever, diarrhea and vomiting.
  • Oxygen.
