Has Anyone Had Positive Experience Paxlovid For Covid

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Lansdale, PA

I tested positive for Covid two days ago. My primary care doctor & my Rheumatologist recommended that I start the Paxlovid. I started the medication this morning. Has anyone taken Paxlovid, and was it helpful in shortening the duration and keeping Covid symptoms from increasing?

Paxlovid has shown positive results in clinical trials. For instance:

- Reduction in Hospitalization/Death: In a clinical trial, Paxlovid reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 89% compared to placebo in non-hospitalized high-risk adults with COVID-19
- Symptom Improvement: Symptoms can improve within 24 to 48 Show Full Answer

- Symptom Improvement: Symptoms can improve within 24 to 48 hours after starting Paxlovid.
- Rebound Cases: Some patients experienced a rebound of symptoms after completing the five-day course, but these were generally mild and resolved without additional therapy.
