What is favipiravir 400 mg?

Favipiravir 400 mg is a prescription antiviral medicine that helps reduce the replication of certain viruses in the body. It belongs to a class of antiviral agents that interfere with viral RNA synthesis, preventing susceptible viruses from multiplying.

Doctors prescribe favipiravir after evaluating the patient's medical history, current symptoms, laboratory findings, and applicable treatment recommendations. The medicine should always be used exactly as prescribed to achieve the intended therapeutic effect.
