Favipiravir increased uric acid by 19.9% compared to placebo. Favipiravir’s ineffectiveness against Covid-19 infections is bad news. Gout may ensue. In the trial, 599 Covid patients and 588 placebo patients with a comparable infection were compared. US, Brazil, and Mexico participants. “Favipiravir in Early Mild-to-Moderate Covid-19: A Randomized Control Trial” was published in August.
