Tecovirimat, sold under the brand name Tpoxx,[2] is an antiviral with activity against orthopoxviruses such as smallpox and monkeypox. It was the first antipoxviral drug approved in the United States.[3]
The drug works by blocking cellular transmission of the virus, thus preventing the disease.[4] Tecovirimat has been effective in laboratory testing; it has been shown to protect animals from monkeypox and rabbitpox and causes no serious side effects in humans.[2] However, tecovirimat has never been used to treat a human with smallpox due to the disease's eradication.
Two million doses of tecovirimat are stockpiled in the US Strategic National Stockpileshould an orthopoxvirus-based bioterror attack occur.[5][6]
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it to be a first-in-class medication.[7]
