Health #outcomes 3 mos & 6 mos after #molnupiravir treatment for #COVID19 for people at higher #risk in #community (PANORAMIC): a RCT, Lancet Infect Dis.: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(24)00431-6/fulltext?rss=yes
In a vaccinated population, people treated with molnupiravir for acute COVID19 felt better, experienced fewer & less severe symptoms, accessed health care less often, & took less time off work at 6 mos. However, absolute differences in this open-label design are small with high numbers needed to treat.
Triple #combination of #Remdesivir, #Molnupiravir & #Ribavirin is highly efficient in inhibiting #coronavirus #replication in #human nasal #airway epithelial cell cultures & in a #hamster infection model. Antiviral Res.: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166354224002031?via%3Dihub
Combining Remdesivir, molnupiravir, & ribavirin increases the antiviral efficacy against coronavirus OC43. This triple therapy also eliminates #SARS-CoV-2 replication in #lungs of infected hamsters, unlike double combinations.
The use of fixed dose-combinations of antivirals with different mechanisms of action has proven key in the successful treatment of infections with HIV…
This meta-analysis of nine studies encompassing 866,066 patients with COVID-19 demonstrated that use of oral antiviral drugs including [paxlovid] and mulnupiravir during the acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection was significantly associated with a lower risk of [post covid-19 condition] development.
