Paxlovid is being used to treat ‘high risk’ patients with mild to moderate Covid-19. It is now available for Community Pharmacies to order via Alliance Healthcare to fulfill prescriptions.
The leaflet is not intended to replace the Patient Information Leaflet [here] but to supplement it with more patient friendly information. The booklet covers key information patients may find useful:
- What is Paxlovid?
- What you need to know before you take Paxlovid
- If you are taking other medicines
- How to take Paxlovid
- If you need to start, stop, or change medication
- If you are or may become pregnant
- If you are breastfeeding
- Side effects
