What is Paxlovid?
Paxlovid is a SARS-COVID medication manufactured by Pfizer Pharmaceutical company. Its combination medicine (Nirmatrelvir and Ritonavir) is an oral anti-viral medication for treating SARS-COV-02 infection, especially for mild to severe cases. The combination works by attacking the virus and inhibiting the replication of the virus.
Uses of Paxlovid
Paxlovid treats virus infections, including COVID-19 (coronavirus), and reduces severe illness along with Covid. This medication is only prescribed for limited use at the start of the infection for four to five days under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
How does it works?
Nirmatrelvir is a protease inhibitor that blocks a necessary enzyme needed by the COVID-19 virus. Ritonavir helps boost the levels of Nirmatrelvir in the body. It stops Nirmatrelvir from metabolizing in the liver; thus, it helps maintain the Nirmatrelvir levels by preventing rapid excretion.
What are the different dosage forms and strengths of Paxlovid?
Paxlovid comes only in one dosage form, i.e.,
Tablets with different strengths:
- 300 mg nirmatrelvir and 100 mg ritonavir
- 150 mg nirmatrelvir and 100 mg ritonavir
How to take it?
This medication combination comes in oral tablet form (non-chewable). It should be taken via mouth with water without crushing or chewing it to avoid its oral absorption and loss of active ingredient. The initial starting dose for managing COVID-19 is 300 mg nirmatrelvir plus 100 mg ritonavir PO (by mouth) BID (Twice daily) for five days.
