Anyone else had the email from NHS about this? I am going to be sent a PCR test to use at home and, if I test positive after having symptoms I will be offered the following. I'm very excited.

2 types of COVID-19 treatment are available:
• sotrovimab (Xevudy))_
• molnupiravir (Lagevrio)
Sotrovimab is a biological medicine. It is also known as a neutralising monoclonal antibody (nMAb).
Molnupiravir is an antiviral medicine.
These treatments can help some people manage their COVID-19 symptoms and reduce the risk of becoming seriously ill.

Are these new medications or old ones that have been found to be effective against Covid?

Here's another bit. It does say "new treatments for coranavirus" so I'm not sure if they are repurposed.
Important information about new treatments for coronavirus.
The NHS is using new treatments for coronavirus. Your medical records show that you might be suitable for these treatments if a PCR test confirms that you have coronavirus.
These treatments need to be given quickly after you start to feel unwell. They can stop you from getting seriously ill. More information: https://www.nhs.uk/CoronavirusTreatmentss_
