U.S. pharmaceutical giant Merck has agreed to share its license with a non-profit so that its experimental covid-19 drug, molnupiravir, can be manufactured widely around the world in a deal that would expand access in more than 100 countries

. But, according to Brook Baker, a professor of law at Northeastern University who has tracked the negotiations over the drug, the price of a course of treatment could fall below $10 as competition increases among manufacturers and production scale grows.

“We had a responsibility,” she added. “You could not have a capsule and not be able to find a way to get it across the world.”Molnupiravir has yet to receive approval from either U.S. or European regulators. Merck applied to the U.S. Food and Drug Agency for emergency use authorization this month and the European Medicines Agency recently began a rolling review of the drug.But experts say that it has huge potential to fight the pandemic.
