The Nipah virus is a highly lethal RNA virus that belongs to the family of Henipavirus and which is commonly present in bats of fruits, though can infect humans and animals, especially pigs. Outbreaks have occurred in South and south east Asia with a high mortality rate in the form of severe respiratory diseases and encephalitis. No specific antiviral practice or approved vaccine exists and the primary mode of management is supportive care and containment of the infection. The reason is the potential pandemic, constant monitoring, and preparedness, which is indispensable, and pharmacists play an important role in the awareness of the community of health and responding to the outbreaks.
