PAXLOVID Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is PAXLOVID?
PAXLOVID is the brand name for nirmatrelvir/ritonavir and is available as an oral tablet.
What dosages is PAXLOVID available in?
PAXLOVID is available as an oral tablet that contains nirmatrelvir 150 mg and ritonavir 100 mg.
What is PAXLOVID used for?
PAXLOVID is an antiviral and is used to treat Mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in people 12 years and older (and weighing over 88 lbs) who are at high risk for severe illness.
How does PAXLOVID work?
PAXLOVID is a combination of two different medications. Nirmatrelvir is a protease inhibitor. It treats COVID-19 by blocking a certain protease, which is a protein the virus needs to make copies of itself and continue to infect. Ritonavir is also a protease inhibitor. Low-dose ritonavir is included in Paxlovid to slow the breakdown of nirmatrelvir. This allows nirmatrelvir to stay in your body longer to fight COVID-19.
How do I take PAXLOVID?
PAXLOVID comes as a pre-packaged course of medication. Each dose of this medication is made up of three tablets taken together: two 150 mg nirmatrelvir tablets and one 100 mg ritonavir tablet. The typical dose is 300 mg of nirmatrelvir and 100 mg of ritonavir by mouth every 12 hours for 5 days. Your dose might be different if you have kidney problems.
Is it safe for me to take PAXLOVID?
PAXLOVID is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if any of the following apply:
History of clinically significant hypersensitivity reactions to the active ingredients (nirmatrelvir or ritonavir) or any other components. Co-administration with drugs highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which elevated concentrations are associated with serious and/or life-threatening reactions.
Co-administration with potent CYP3A inducers where significantly reduced nirmatrelvir or ritonavir plasma concentrations may be associated with the potential for loss of virologic response and possible resistance.
