Molnupiravir Capsules 200 Mg By Marshall Healthcare

Morovir is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient molnupiravir. It is an oral antiviral drug used for the treatment of mild to moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults.

Key Information:
Active Ingredient: Molnupiravir (typically 200 mg per capsule).

Drug Class: Antiviral agent, specifically a nucleoside analog. It works by interfering with the replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the virus that causes COVID-19). It introduces errors in the virus's genetic material, a process known as "viral error catastrophe," which prevents the virus from multiplying effectively.

Uses: Morovir is prescribed for non-hospitalized patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 and are at a high risk of progression to severe disease, which could lead to hospitalization or death. Risk factors often include older age, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
