Australia will purchase 300,000 courses of Molnupiravir, the developmental oral treatment against Covid-19, if it is approved by the country's regulator, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Monday.
Developed by Merck Sharp & Dohme and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, Molnupiravir is a new drug against Covid-19 in the form of a capsule. Clinical trials have shown that the treatment is effective against all Covid-19 variants and reduces the risk of being hospitalised or dying "by half".
