Pharmaceutical company Merck study showed its COVID-19 pill reduced hospitalizations and deaths by 50%

US-based pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. said on Friday that findings from a recent study showed its experimental antiviral pill molnupiravir reduced hospitalisations and deaths by half in people who had recently been infected with COVID-19. The company says it will soon ask health officials around the world to authorise its use.

Pharmaceutical company Merck says research found its experimental COVID-19 pill reduced hospitalizations and deaths by half in people recently infected with the coronavirus. The study results were released by the company and have not been peer reviewed.

Merck said its experimental pill helped prevent serious illness and death in high-risk people infected with Covid-19, a step toward the virus’s first at-home treatment.
