In brief
Lagevrio capsules contain molnupiravir and hold a provisional Australian approval for treating COVID-19 in adults whose risk of hospital admission or death is increased. Its leaflet places the start within 5 days of symptom onset.
COVID-19 treatment under a provisional Lagevrio approval
Lagevrio contains molnupiravir in 200 mg capsules, and its Australian sponsor is Merck Sharp & Dohme (Australia). The October 2023 version of the Lagevrio consumer medicine information describes a provisional approval for adults with COVID-19 who carry a higher chance of hospitalisation or death.
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.
Express or standard post versus the 5-day start
According to the Lagevrio information, treatment should start soon after a COVID-19 diagnosis and no later than 5 days after symptoms first show. Whether it is safe and works when taken for more than 5 days is not known. Going by the Lagevrio facts, the estimated delivery times listed below may be longer than the 5-day period in which treatment is meant to begin.
Single bottle or a set of three, 200 mg
Compare packs of the same strength. These examples are for 200 mg and are calculated from the listed prices at the shop’s Australian-dollar rate on 9 October 2026, before delivery or other checkout charges.
| Strength | Bottles | Pack price | Price per bottle |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 mg | 1 | A$347.73 | A$347.73 |
| 200 mg | 3 | A$883.72 | A$294.57 |
Ordering 3 bottles together brings the cost of each one down by about 15.3% compared with a single bottle.
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 age limit, pregnancy test and breastfeeding pause
The leaflet states that Lagevrio is not approved for people under 18 years of age and should not be taken by anyone with an allergy to molnupiravir or to any capsule ingredient. It is not recommended during pregnancy, so a pregnancy test comes before the first dose. Mothers should not breastfeed while on treatment or for 4 days after the last dose.
Contraception after the last Lagevrio capsule
Women and men are given separate time frames. Women need effective contraception during treatment and for 4 days after it ends, while men are asked to use a reliable method during treatment and for 3 months after the final dose.
Diarrhoea, dizziness and hives in the Lagevrio leaflet
The leaflet describes a 5-day course, and Lagevrio may be swallowed with or without food. Effects it lists as common include diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and itchy skin. Signs of a serious allergic reaction it mentions are hives, difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling of the face, tightness in the throat and a rash.
Cool, dry and below 30 °C for Lagevrio capsules
The Lagevrio leaflet says to keep the capsules in their original bottle in a cool, dry place under 30 °C, protected from heat and direct sunlight. Follow the storage directions on the pack you receive.
