    It costs ₹35-50 (less than a dollar) per capsule to buy a Molnupiravir pill in India. The entire box costs about ₹2,000 (Cipla, 40 pills).

    Paxlovid is also available, it seems, which is basically a combined treatment of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir. Nirmacom Combipack is being sold by Hetero Healthcares at ₹980.
