All original articles, case series, and case reports pertaining to mucocutaneous adverse drug reactions caused by remdesivir and favipiravir, while any of these drugs were administered in Covid-19-infected patients, were included in the present study. Results: Six articles were identified pertaining to the mucocutaneous adverse reactions of remdesivir, of which two were original articles and four were case reports. Four case reports pertaining to the mucocutaneous adverse events of favipiravir are included in this study. The details regarding the same are elaborated in the main manuscript. Conclusion: In the present systematic analysis, the mucocutaneous adverse events of the two widely used antiviral medications in Covid-19 were described.
