For COVID-19 "I took Molnupiravir a year ago and loved the results. I took it on day five of my symptoms, right when the virus was starting to go into my lungs. Several hours after taking the first dose, my lungs cleared, and never got bad. By day five of the medication, I was completely better. I just started a second course yesterday, having tested positive the previous night. Several hours after taking it this time, my symptoms again started clearing up. I just took my third dose, and the medication is helping me recover quickly. If I wasn't testing positive, I would be out doing things."

For COVID-19 "Before starting it (Feb 2023), I had just developed a fever, and the fever was resolved the morning after the first dose. My coughing greatly reduced later that same day. Continued the course of doses, and the symptoms continued to lessen till gone."

For COVID-19 "68-year-old male. Started with a scratchy throat on the evening of 1/6/23. During the day on 1/7, progressively got worse, with a head cold and fever. Took Tylenol, but symptoms became worse. On 1/8, tested positive for Covid. Prescribed Molnupiravir and took the first dose that evening. Fever broke during the night. Still have a head cold on 1/10 but feeling better with lessening symptoms. Also took Molnupiravir during the previous Covid during 7/22, and cleared up the symptoms within a day."

For COVID-19 "In case you're thinking of taking the antiviral medication, I tested positive and called a healthcare professional who recommended Molnupiravir. I started taking it on the second day in the evening (4 capsules every 12 hours for 5 days). I was very stuffed up and had a low-grade fever which comes and goes. Sinus drainage and headache are very persistent. Currently, I have laryngitis. My cough is not productive, and the headache remains. Overall, I feel tired most of the time. My appetite is low, I get hungry, and I kind of feel bad after I eat. I have lost my sense of smell or taste and have had diarrhea on and off since the third day of starting the medication. The cough and sinus drainage are very persistent. I have chest pains from my lungs and maybe some COVID brain, not sure. If I hadn't taken this, I believe I would have gotten much worse. After the first 12 hours, it stopped it in its tracks, but then the stuff came back. It's just hard to say, but the malaise is real."

For COVID-19 "I took the generic for Lagevrio last February. I didn't have any side effects because. I was prescribed Molnupiravir because Paxlovid had too many side effects with the Rx's I take every day. I had a light case of the Covid, so this medicine must have helped."

Lagevrio (molnupiravir) for COVID-19 "Was contraindicated from taking Pavlovid. Took Lagevrio as prescribed and had no adverse effects. Have suffered severe shoulder and hip pain since concluding treatment. Not sure if related to Lagevrio or not."

Lagevrio (molnupiravir) for COVID-19 "Amazing med. Symptoms started Fri. Took first Molnupiravir (Lagevrio) dose Sat night. Saw relief the next morning. I was headed for a bad Covid case. My legs hurt so bad I was having trouble walking, fever, diarrhea, horrible cough, violent shaking from the chills. I am certain this med kept me from going to the hospital. The only side effect was a bad taste in my mouth and maybe fatigue. Took the 5-day course. All severe symptoms were gone."
