In brief
Molnupiravir 200 mg is the medicine found in Lagevrio capsules, which hold a provisional Australian approval for COVID-19 in adults at increased risk of hospitalisation or death. Lagevrio guidance links treatment to the first 5 days after symptoms begin.
Who molnupiravir is meant for: adults at higher risk from COVID-19
The Australian Lagevrio leaflet describes molnupiravir in 200 mg capsule form and names Merck Sharp & Dohme (Australia) as sponsor. According to the Lagevrio consumer medicine information (revised October 2023), the medicine has provisional approval to treat COVID-19 in adults who face a greater chance of hospital admission or death from the infection.
This listing shows molnupiravir 200 mg sold by the bottle. It does not name the manufacturer of the product supplied or the number of capsules per bottle, so check the label on the pack you receive and confirm with your prescriber or pharmacist that it matches your prescription.
Molnupiravir shipping estimates measured against the 5-day start
Lagevrio information says treatment should start as soon as possible after COVID-19 is diagnosed and within 5 days of the first symptoms, and that safety and effectiveness for use longer than 5 days have not been established. Set beside that Lagevrio time frame, the shipping estimates in the delivery section of this page may exceed the 5-day window for starting treatment.

Choosing three bottles instead of two lowers the cost of each bottle by roughly 8.9%.
A lower price per bottle means a larger upfront payment. Choose only the quantity and strength appropriate to your prescription, and check the expiry date. Prices can change, so confirm the current pack price before ordering.
Lagevrio limits on age, allergy, pregnancy testing and breastfeeding
Only adults are covered by the Lagevrio approval; nobody below 18 is included. An allergy to molnupiravir, or to anything else in the capsules, also excludes it. The leaflet does not recommend Lagevrio in pregnancy, and it calls for a pregnancy test before treatment starts. Women are also told not to breastfeed while on the course or in the 4 days that follow the last capsule.
How long contraception continues after Lagevrio ends
A woman of child-bearing potential needs effective protection against pregnancy throughout the course and for a further 4 days. Men on Lagevrio need a reliable method both while taking it and for 3 months counted from the final dose.
Diarrhoea, dizziness, itch and allergic reactions named for Lagevrio
Lagevrio capsules can go down with a meal or without one, and the whole course is 5 days long. Among the effects reported often are loose bowels (diarrhoea), nausea, vomiting, dizziness and an itchy feeling. The leaflet treats as serious the signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, a rash, swelling of the face, a tight throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing.
