莫努匹韦怎么买？

The novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) epidemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a serious threat to public health. (molnupiravir, trade name: EIDD-2801/MK-4482), jointly developed by Merck and the biotechnology company Ridgeback, is a small molecule ribonucleoside prodrug of β-D-N4-hydroxycytidine (NHC). It is active against SARS-COV-2 and other RNA viruses, and can better delay the development of drug resistance. Monupivir received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the US FDA on December 23, 2021, and is suitable for the treatment of non-hospitalized adult patients with mild to moderate COVID-19. So, how to buy Monupivir?

Monupivir price

It is reported that a course of treatment of Monupivir/Monoravir/Monapiravir costs US$700 abroad, and a course of treatment of Pfizer's Paxlovid costs US$550, which means this drug is more expensive than Paxlovid. Paxlovid has just entered the Chinese market and is priced at $2,980 per box. The price of this drug is estimated to be around $4,000, which is still expensive for low- and middle-income patients. Therefore, more patients choose to use the overseas version of Monupivir. It is understood that the overseas version is only 350 per box, which is very cost-effective.

How to buy Monupivir

There are currently three channels for purchasing Monupivir:

1. On December 30, 2022, Monuravir was approved by the State Food and Drug Administration. Merck’s Monuravir is now available for sale in the country. Therefore, patients can buy it in China, but the drug has not yet been included in medical insurance. The drug needs to be paid for in full out of pocket. It is expensive and cannot be afforded by low- and middle-income families.

2. Find purchasing agents. At present, there are some drug purchasing agents in China that claim to help patients buy Monupivir, but the authenticity is mixed and the safety is low. It is very likely that you will spend money to buy fake drugs, or even not be able to buy the drug.

3. It is recommended that patients look for domestic and overseas medical service institutions to help them purchase Monupivir. On the one hand, the price is cheap, which can satisfy patients who cannot use medical insurance. On the other hand, patients do not need to go abroad and sign a three-party contract. The medicine is delivered directly to their door. The quality is guaranteed, and it is convenient and fast.
