Separately, the Food plus Drug Administration allows private hospitals to directly buy and distribute Paxlovid, as well as molnupiravir from various manufacturers.
FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION deputy secretary-general Surachoke Tangwiwat said since FDA recognises Paxlovid — a combination of the antibiotic nirmatrelvir and ritonavir developed and marketed by Merck — and universal forms of molnupiravir, private hospitals can directly buy the medicines from drugmakers as long as they follow prescription guidelines from the Department of Medical Services.
