Q
I heard that mornupiravir is carcinogenic, but is there any problem?
Last update date August 9, 2023
Health and Medical Care
A
Mornupiravir showed positive results of bacteria-based mutage tests, but no mutationgenicity was found as a result of conducting two types of mutationgenic trials using rodents.
In addition, the results of the in vitro micronuclear test and the small nuclear test using rats were negative.
Based on the above results, the government believes that carcinogenic is present at this time.
