Antiviral tablet Favipiravir is already used in Japan for flu, and is made by Fujifilm Toyama Chemicals. It is now being trialled for use in Covid patients with milder symptoms by scientists in Glasgow who hope it could stop them developing serious ones. It has to be taken within four days of a positive test and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and the University of Glasgow are urging people who have been diagnosed with the infection to take part in a new study.
