FDA authorizes second antiviral pill to treat Covid-19

The US Food and Drug Administration on Thursday authorized Merck's antiviral pill, molnupiravir, to treat Covid-19"for the treatment of mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease in adults with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death, and for whom alternative COVID-19 treatment options authorized by the FDA are not accessible or clinically appropriate.

This is the second Covid-19 antiviral pill authorized for ill people to take at home, before they get sick enough to be hospitalized. Merck has an agreement with the US government for the company to supply 3.1 million courses of molnupiravir upon this authorization.Molnupiravir was narrowly recommended by the FDA's advisers in a 13-10 vote at the end of November after data showed it cut the risk of hospitalization or death by 30% among high-risk adults.

Separately, Merck has requested emergency use authorization for its antiviral pill, molnupiravir. It was narrowly recommended by FDA's advisers in a 13-10 vote at the end of November after data showed it cut the risk of hospitalization or death by 30% among high-risk adults. This was lower than an earlier analysis suggesting that number could be around 50%. The FDA has not announced whether it will authorize the treatment.

Lies after lies after lies… When it’s gonna end? Beside for some “creatures” here👇🏼and few others, nobody else knows.

Why is Biden on purpose blocking Evusheld, and the news not covering it?

I hear the Pfizer put the same chip in the pill as the vaccines, FoxNews OANN newsmax said so, and they never lie. Right TWIT_ANTHONY? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

A drug that 'suppresses the symptoms' after you've been infected isn't 'Anti-Viral'... its 'Post-Viral'...

terrible move by the FDA and a thread explaining why:

Paxlovid is a game changer... Biden should enact defense production act immediately... like yesterday

Just make it available over the counter like aspirin to get the anti vaxxers to secretly take something

Horse dewormer!

Enthusiasm for the drug has waned a bit since Merck released its updated data , which showed molnupiravir was less effective than initially reported .

' Molnupiravir is not authorized for use in patients younger than 18 years of age because molnupiravir may affect bone and cartilage growth ', the FDA said .
