Paxlovid Covid-19 Treatment
Paxlovid is an oral antiviral medication that may be used to help prevent symptoms requiring
hospitalization in patients with Covid-19.
What is Paxlovid and How Does it Work?
Pfizer’s FDA authorized Covid pill, Paxlovid is an oral antiviral pill that works by stopping the viral replication process of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This reduces a person’s viral load and lessens the severity of their symptoms. Paxlovid can reduce the risk of hospitalization by 89%, as demonstrated in one clinical trial. Paxlovid is effective against the Omicron variant of Covid-19 when taken within five days of the start of symptoms.
