This guidance is for patients who have been prescribed Lagevrio® (molnupiravir) 200mg hard capsules.
The expiry date of specified batches of Lagevrio® (molnupiravir) 200mg hard capsules has been extended to 36 months in total. This means the period that the packs can be used has been extended by 6, 12 or 18 months beyond the labelled expiry date on the pack.
This extension was approved by MHRA based on scientific information that extending the shelf life of this product will not affect its safety profile or how well it works.
DHSC and MSD have confirmed that specified batches of the coronavirus (COVID-19) oral antiviral drug are still safe and effective to use beyond their current expiry date. MHRA has confirmed it remains safe to take this medicine as instructed by your doctor, nurse or pharmacist.
See the patient information leaflet inside the pack for further information about this medicine and how to take it.
