In brief
Molnupiravir is used for COVID-19. As Lagevrio it holds provisional Australian approval for adults whose risk of hospitalisation or death from the infection is raised.
Molnupiravir (Lagevrio) and COVID-19
Adults with COVID-19 who face a raised risk of ending up in hospital or dying are the group Lagevrio is provisionally approved for in Australia, according to its consumer medicine information. Merck Sharp & Dohme (Australia) sponsors this 200 mg capsule, and molnupiravir is its active ingredient.
This listing shows molnupiravir 200 mg, sold by the bottle. It does not name the manufacturer of the capsules supplied, so check the label on the pack you receive and confirm with your prescriber or pharmacist that it matches your prescription.
The 5-day window and delivery times
Product information for Lagevrio places the start of treatment as early as possible after diagnosis and no later than 5 days after symptoms appear, for adults at risk of severe illness. Whether treatment lasting longer than 5 days is safe and effective has not been established.
The delivery times listed further down this page may exceed that 5-day window, so an order may arrive after it has closed.
Molnupiravir 200 mg: price per bottle
Orders are by number of bottles; the listing does not say how many capsules each bottle holds. These examples are calculated from the listed prices at the shop’s Australian-dollar rate on 8 October 2026, before delivery or other checkout charges.

|---|---|---|---|
| 200 mg | 1 | A$417.17 | A$417.17 |

Compared with one bottle, the cost per bottle falls by about 7.0% with two and about 23.1% with four.
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.
Who Lagevrio is not intended for
Its approval does not extend to people younger than 18, and an allergy to molnupiravir or to any capsule ingredient rules it out. Use in pregnancy is not recommended, with a pregnancy test advised beforehand, and breastfeeding should pause for the course and the 4 days that follow it.
Contraception rules
Women are asked to use effective contraception throughout treatment and for 4 days after their final capsule. For men the period is longer: reliable contraception during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose.
Reported side effects
Itching, dizziness, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting are the common ones in the Lagevrio leaflet. A rash, hives, swelling of the face, a tight feeling in the throat or trouble breathing or swallowing can be signs of a serious allergic reaction.
Keeping the capsules
Lagevrio capsules belong in their original bottle, somewhere cool and dry under 30 °C, out of sunlight and away from heat. Follow the storage directions on the pack you receive.
