I was prescribed this about 3 weeks ago with excellent results except for very bitter after taste which didn’t go away until about 36 hours after last dose.
I just started paxlovid 30 mins ago (evening dosage). I hope this helps me because my Covid-19 symptoms are horrendous. I will check back and let you guys know the effectiveness. Also, It was free through CVS pharmacy. Good luck to everyone! ❤
My unvaccinated at risk brother(obese) has started Paxlovid yesterday, and is concerned, are you able to give us an update of your outcome from using Paxlovid? Thank you
I started last night , done with second dose , lost my sense of smell and taste after the second dose - and feeling very depressed. Am on my third day of Covid + , fyi I have asthma too. Hope everyone feels better and stay safe
I started paxlovid on day three of symptoms. I noticed less inflammation in my sinus within an hour. All the body aches and chills were also gone. Giving me a chance to finally sleep. It did give me diarrhea. I ate Greek yogurt before the next any further doses and it helped. I’ve done four doses so far and feel much better. I do have drainage remaining but that’s manageable.
This is my third day taking Paxlovid of my 5 day prescription..my first dose was evening..after some hours, i tasted bitter and it last for hours before i took the second dose the following morning..i hope it's just the bitter taste side effective and after 5 days, Covid19 will be gone ..
I think the one on one therapy is less toxic and does cover more than 5 days. I extended to 7 or 8. With a negative test result. These are very potent antivirals. You may experience a little stomach upset. I think thumbs up. Vaccine therapy is good to look at.

Hi Joe! Yes. Pfizer stopped their study looking at the use of Paxlovid in relatively healthy patients who are at low risk for hospitalization and death because the drug did not show any benefits in this group. Paxlovid is best to be used in high risk groups as you stated.
