There are limited clinical data available for Nupiravir 200 mg Capsule. Serious and unexpected adverse events may occur that have not been previously reported with Nupiravir 200 mg Capsule use.Interaction
No drug interactions have been identified based on the limited available data. No clinical interaction studies have been performed with Nupiravir 200 mg Capsule. Nupiravir 200 mg Capsule is hydrolysed to n-hydroxycytidine (NHC) prior to reaching systemic circulation. Uptake of NHC and metabolism to NHC-TP are mediated by the same pathways involved in endogenous pyrimidine metabolism. NHC is not a substrate of major drug metabolising enzymes or transporters. Based on in vitro studies, neither molnupiravir nor NHC are inhibitors or inducers of major drug metabolising enzymes or inhibitors of major drug transporters. Therefore, the potential for molnupiravir or NHC to interact with concomitant medications is considered unlikely.Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use
