There are a few reports surfacing about people experiencing COVID symptoms again after finishing their course of Paxlovid. Other commonly reported side effects include headache, diarrhoea, vomiting and dysgeusia, or “Paxlovid mouth”, where foods taste metallic, sour or bitter. Detailed information on potential drug interactions is available in the Therapeutic Goods Administration product information for Paxlovid. It’s important to discuss all your medications – including herbal and non-prescription medications, and any plans to change them – with your doctor and pharmacist before beginning Paxlovid.ĭrug interaction checkers can help identify which medications might interact with it. In some cases, people taking these drugs should not receive Paxlovid in other cases, it may be possible to pause or change the dose of the other medication for the five days you’re taking Paxlovid.
The biggest downside with Paxlovid is that it can cause serious side effects if combined with many commonly used drugs for a wide range of other conditions. There are no data about the effectiveness of Paxlovid against Omicron specifically, but there are no particular reasons to think it would be less effective. The study was also conducted before the Omicron variant was circulating. More research in these groups, and in comparison to other treatments, would be very helpful. The study didn’t include children, adolescents, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or people who had been vaccinated, so the safety and effectiveness of Paxlovid in these groups is less certain. The study found taking Paxlovid reduced the chance of needing to be admitted to hospital for severe COVID.
