Patient summary
Molnunat is molnupiravir 200mg hard capsules for COVID-19, a nucleoside analogue prodrug that corrupts the viral genome as it copies.
Mechanism of action
Molnupiravir is a prodrug that acts as a nucleoside analogue. When metabolized, it incorporates into the viral RNA during replication, causing a high mutation rate in the SARS-CoV-2 genome, which effectively inhibits viral progression.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Not recommended during pregnancy. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.
Molnunat contains the active ingredient Molnupiravir and is used for the treatment of Covid-19. The same ingredient is also sold under the brand name Lagevrio. Manufactured by Natco Pharma, this product is supplied in bottles with a strength of 200mg.
Buying Molnunat online
Generic Molnupiravir, much of it made in India, is far more affordable than the original brand. This offers a practical solution for expats and other residents living far from a well stocked pharmacy who need to source medication online with direct delivery across Singapore and Malaysia.
