Bova EIDD-1931 Frequently Asked Questions

EIDD-1931 is a broadly active ribonucleoside analog and the active metabolite of the prodrug molnupiravir (EIDD-2801). EIDD-1931 is 4 times more virus inhibitory and one third less toxic than EIDD-2801 (Niels C. Pedersen DVM, PhD, 2021).

Stokes Pharmacy has the only FIP treatments that are tested against the Bova proven standard. Bova has the only verified testing method.

Veterinary feline experts who specialize in FIP, still refer to GS-441524 as the “gold standard” when it comes to treating cats for with FIP. This is due to a number of factors, including a lack of studies on Molnupiravir/EIDD-1931 and the potential side effects of EIDD-1931. It is much safer to increase the dose of GS-441524 than it is to increase the dose of EIDD-1931. There is also evidence in humans treated for COVID that resistance to Molnupiravir/EIDD-1931 develops more quickly than with GS-441524. (Dr. Sally Coggins, FIP Update 2024)

“It doesn’t appear to have the same safety margin as GS-441524….We can’t just keep giving more if it’s not working, whereas with GS441524, quite often we will escalate doses considerably higher than those maintenance doses. With Molnupiravir, we need to be a lot more judicious in terms of the actual dose that the animal’s receiving.” – Dr. Sally Coggins, FIP Update 2024

“My preference is still GS-441524. I do still think that’s the better and probably safer drug. So if it’s not cost prohibitive, keep them on GS-441524 orally” – Dr. Sally Coggins, FIP Update 2024

“There have been some cases of bone marrow suppression causing neutropaenia when it is being used at higher dose rates. Also reports of brittle whiskers, flaky skin, nausea, anorexia and muscle wasting, plus ‘folder ear tips’, although this may be disease-related” – Dr. Sally Coggins, FIP Update 2024

Use gloves when handling this drug.

Women who are or may potentially be pregnant or nursing should not handle this drug. 

Always wash your hands after handling or administering any medication.

According to FIP experts, it is completely fine to switch them straight onto Bova EIDD-1931.

“We have definitely had instances where you go from one drug to the other and their symptoms respond considerably. There are some cats that are receiving GS-441524 and EIDD-1931 together and having improved outcomes” – Dr. Sally Coggins, FIP Update 2024
