Side effects?
editThe article in one section says "had no obvious side effects" and in another says "had serious side effects". This could use some... details!
Why is a a Russian favipiravir brand a separate article on Wikipedia?
editFor some reason a Russian favipiravir brand (https://www.eapteka.ru/goods/drugs/antiviral/protiv_koronavirusa/koronavir/) is a separate article in Wikipedia: Coronavir . It's pack and bottle state "favipiravir" quite clearly. --Bstard12 (talk) 02:07, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
Yes, in the photograph of the product you can see the text Favipiravir (200mg).
How do people in Russia buy it? How do they get the prescription or is it available over-the-counter?

- I agree that the two articles should be merged. Coronavir is a brand of favipiravir (see for example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8661194/). There shouldn't be two articles on the same subject. Marbletan (talk) 15:45, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
Merger complete.
