$Pfizer(PFE.US$ UK, Australia, South Korea to buy Pfzier's COVID anti-viral pills
Britain, Australia and South Korea on Friday reached agreements with the pharma company Pfizer to purchase its antiviral pills for treating COVID-19 once approved by regulators.
Pfizer's antiviral pill, known as PF-07321332, hasn't been approved for sale in the United States, says Roma Nair, a spokesperson for the company. The United States has, however, agreed to buy 1.7 million molnupiravir courses from the pharma company Merck. The pills developed by Merck and Pfizer could be a turning point in the fight against the coronavirus because they do not require a hospital visit and are reasonably inexpensive compared with the current antibody treatments. Both medications are meant to stop viruses from replicating.
