The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have announced that ​two additional formulations include all strengths and the additional restrictions have already came into place from Tuesday (June 16).

This came immediately after a study involving the drug was been hailed as a major breakthrough in the fight against Covid-19.
