13 Things To Know About Paxlovid, the Latest COVID-19 Pill
Yale experts answer commonly asked questions about the oral antiviral medication.
March 25, 2024

Paxlovid, an oral antiviral pill that can be taken at home, is the go-to treatment for COVID-19. If you are at high risk for severe disease from COVID, and you take it within the first five days of experiencing symptoms, it will lower your risk of getting so sick that you need to be hospitalized.

The drug, developed by Pfizer, had an 89% reduction in the risk of hospitalization and death in unvaccinated people in the clinical trial that supported the EUA, a number that was high enough to prompt the National Institutes of Health [NIH) to prioritize it over other COVID treatments.

(Supported by Pfizer; EPIC-SR ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT05011513.)”
