WHAT IS MOLNUPIRAVIR?
It is the chemical name for a medicine originally developed to treat influenza that is given orally in a capsule. It inhibits replication of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, by a mechanism known as "lethal mutagenesis".
In simple terms, it causes the machinery that reproduces the virus’s genetic material to make mistakes, thereby rendering the copies defective.
