Just commented on a reply, this medication saved me from the hospital ventilator. Thanks for the video👍

[@elainehildebrand5886]

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.

[@dotbirdbudgieshingleton-sm8693]

This medication has just saved my life. Yes the aftertaste was prevalent, but a small price to pay and kept me out of hospital.👍

@@dotbirdbudgieshingleton-sm8693 same here, I was fairly sick and probably would’ve gotten much worse if it wasn’t for this medication

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

[@mahinahsan8363]

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

Thanks very much for the video. It is so rich of information and great choreography of slides, really enjoying it.

[@thepharmeztutor716]

I’m glad you enjoyed watching the video!

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.

Can you do a video of Paxloid as a possible treatment for long covid?

[@SarahBown-fo6fv]

How much does it cost for a full treatment?

[@susanaacostazimmermann9384]

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.

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 ..

Rebound Effect: when you stop the drug, Covid comes back worse, YEAH!

[@ruthcoffey3120]

One of the downsides is a sore tongue. I have had a sore tongue for 2 months. I would never take it again. Leave the experiments to mice, thank you.
