Information for healthcare professionals and the public about Lagevrio
Documents
Details
The MHRA has issued a Conditional Marketing Authorisation for Lagevrio (molnupiravir) in Great Britain and a temporary Regulation 174 authorisation for Northern Ireland to ensure supply across all of the UK. If the European Medicines Agency grants a CMA for Lagevrio it would apply in Northern Ireland and the Regulation 174 authorisation would no longer be in place.
Supply of this product will be subject to the same requirements in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the product information on this page applies to both authorisations.
The information for healthcare professionals and UK recipients on using Lagevrio safely will be periodically updated as new data become available and this will continue when the CMA is converted to a MA. Please regularly check this information as it is often updated.
Lagevrio authorised under Regulation 174 is kept in line with the product information of the GB CMA.
