Paxlovid, a pill taken orally at home, is the preferred method to manage COVID-19. Being at a high risk for severe COVID means this pill could be a real game changer. If it’s taken within the first five days of noticing symptoms, you’re less likely to get so sick you’ll have to go to the hospital. A licensed medical professional should prescribe PAXLOVID, and it should be received from a government-certified pharmacy.
Any real PAXLOVID, straight from Pfizer, will have the Pfizer name on its packaging. It comes in push-through blister packs that hold individual doses. No single doses are sold by Pfizer. PAXLOVID comes in a box that’s covered in a transparent, shiny finish. The box will have the Pfizer name plastered all around, perpendicular to the glossy coating.
It’s a 5 day regimen, and you take it twice a day. If your kidneys are dodgy, don’t worry, they’ve got you covered. Your box may have special blister packs that ensure you take just the right amount each day.
