Taking molnupiravir with other medicines and herbal supplements

Cautions with other medicines

There is no evidence to say that molnupiravir will affect any other medicine you are taking. If you are taking medicines for other conditions, it's important to keep taking them.

Talk to your doctor if you're worried about taking other medicines with molnupiravir.

Molnupiravir and coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines

There's no evidence that molnupiravir affects the COVID-19 vaccine.

COVID-19 treatments do not replace vaccinations. Vaccines are given to help your immune system fight a future COVID-19 infection.

The COVID-19 vaccine is not recommended within 4 weeks of having COVID-19.

Mixing molnupiravir with herbal remedies and supplements

There's not enough information to say that herbal remedies or supplements are safe to take with molnupiravir.

They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Important: Medicine safety

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
