* Peramivir already in works for emergency use
* HHS keen to build armaments against H1N1

By David Morgan
WASHINGTON, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Approval for the emergency intravenous use of experimental new antiviral drugs for patients critically ill with H1N1 swine flu could come within days, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said on Wednesday.

The new drugs, which could supplement existing supplies of the flu drugs Tamiflu and Relenza, could help patients too sick to take pills or use an inhaler, and would add to choices available if and when the virus develops resistance to the current drugs.

The good news is we have encouraging results from several different candidates and we anticipate final decisions being made by the scientists very shortly, Sebelius told a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

It is imminent, Sebelius said, and when asked if a decision could come in a matter of days, she replied: We hope that\'s the case.
