Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of the study is to learn what happens to different forms of molnupiravir (MOV) medications in a healthy person's body over time when taken on an empty stomach or with food. Researchers will compare the amount of MOV in the healthy person's body over time when different forms of medications are given.
