Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE) has sought the Food and Drug Administration to grant full approval of its Covid-19 antiviral pill.
If granted approval, Pfizer will be allowed to sell the drug Paxlovid commercially.
Until now, the federal government has authorized the pill for emergency use and also has been directing the pills’ distribution.
Pfizer will be allowed to sell Paxlovid intermediaries that distribute it to pharmacies and other buyers and can also run advertisements promoting the drug.
The federal government has restricted the pill’s distribution only at the direction of the U.S. government.
