Molnupiravir

Molnupiravir 200mg

Molnupiravir is an antiviral medication used to treat COVID-19 by inhibiting the replication of the virus within the body. It works by introducing a novel mechanism that causes errors in the viral RNA during replication, leading to a reduction in viral load. Approved for use in mild to moderate COVID-19 cases in patients at risk for severe disease, it is taken orally and offers an important therapeutic option for reducing the severity of the illness.

Description

Molnupiravir is an antiviral medication designed to treat infections caused by certain viruses, including coronaviruses. It works by inhibiting viral replication, preventing the virus from multiplying and spreading within the body. Molnupiravir is particularly noted for its potential use in cases of COVID-19.

Uses / Indications

  • Treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in adults at high risk for progression to severe disease
  • Potential use in other viral infections as determined by healthcare professionals

Dosage and Administration

Adults:
The typical dosing regimen for COVID-19 treatment involves taking 800 mg (four 200 mg capsules) orally every 12 hours for five days. It is important to start treatment as soon as possible after diagnosis and within the first five days of symptom onset.

Note: Dosage may be adjusted based on individual medical conditions or physician recommendations.

How It Works (Mechanism of Action)

Molnupiravir is a prodrug that, upon metabolic activation, introduces errors in the viral RNA during replication. This leads to the accumulation of mutations, ultimately rendering the virus unable to replicate effectively. By targeting an essential step in the viral life cycle, it reduces the overall viral load in the body.
