The Thai Department of Medical Services took delivery of two million capsules, or 50,000 courses, of Molnupiravir anti-viral medicine today (Friday) from Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, the joint developers and manufacturers of the COVID-19 treatment.

 

Department Chief Dr. Somsak Akksilp said that the drug will be distributed to hospitals in Bangkok and other provinces, to be used by COVID-19 patients who develop mild or moderate symptoms and elderly COVID-19 patients who have any of the seven underlying diseases and who are not on ventilators.

 

He added that the drug cannot be used by pregnant women or people who have a low white blood cell count.
