With drug stores requiring doctor prescriptions to sell Covid-19 drugs containing molnupiravir, patients are turning to get them in the black market.

 

Hanoi resident Quang, 35, was asked by relatives in Bac Giang Province, which borders the capital city, if he could help buy a box of the molnupiravir drug.

 

On Sunday, he checked with several groups on social media to see if he could buy the drug online.

Same thing is happening in Thailand with Favipiravir.

 

The government was ‘giving it out’ with the ‘health packs’ for those reporting positive ATK cases to the MoPH hotline, now they are withholding it and keeping it only for people with symptoms which has created a demand - and those with symptoms now selling it on for ‘allegedly’ 1000 baht a box of 32 tablets. 

Why buy medicine on the black market, with the vaccine, everyone I know who has gotten covid recently has been fine, they just got sick.
