The US Food and Drug Administration said Veklury, the drug's brand name, cut the recovery time on average by five days during clinical trials.
The World Health Organization last week said remdesivir had little to no effect on patients' survival.
The WHO said this was based on its own study - but the drug's manufacturer Gilead rejected the findings of the trial.
Remdesivir had been authorised for emergency use only in the US since May.
In the US it will cost $3,120 via private insurers and $2,340 via government purchasers for a five-day course.

A senior State Department official said on Thursday said the United States is urging Sri Lanka to make difficult but necessary choices to secure its economic independence instead of choosing opaque practices, in an apparent reference at China deepening its influence over the South Asian country.

The EU said it was ready to talk about draft legal texts of a deal after threats from Britain that it would undercut the 2020 divorce treaty, and Johnson briefly broke off trade talks on Friday.
EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier told Reuters on arrival in London on Thursday that it is very important to be back at the table and have a huge common responsibility.

The comments are the clearest sign that Hamdok, under pressure from the United States, is willing to contemplate Sudan establishing ties with former adversary Israel.
Hamdok’s technocratic government has so far rebuffed U.S. advances aimed at pushing Sudan to follow the lead of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, both of which signed agreements to establish formal ties with Israel at the White House last month.

Belgium, which has already closed cafes, bars and restaurants and imposed a night curfew, has Europe’s second highest infection rate per capita after the Czech Republic. New infections hit a peak of 10,500 on Thursday.
Belgium Prime Minister Alexander de Croo told a news conference that there is no law that can stop the virus, the only ones who can stop it are the citizens.
