Should You See an Online Doctor For Molnupiravir and Paxlovid?
Paxlovid and Molnupiravir are two new effective medications for the treatment of COVID-19. These prescription pills can be taken at home if you experience mild or moderate symptoms of COVID-19.
The medication, Paxlovid, is created by Pfizer, while Molnupiravir is created by Merck. Both pills have been authorized by the US Food and Drug Administration and are currently the only two medications that patients can take at home rather than in a hospital setting.
Dosage of the COVID-19 Pills
The Pfizer medication, Paxlovid, has a course of five days, during which it needs to be taken twice a day, within five days of the onset of the novel coronavirus symptoms. Each pack comes with a total of 30 tablets divided into five daily-dose blister cards.
The Merck medication, Molnupiravir, also needs to be taken twice a day for five days. It also needs to be taken within five days of the onset of the symptoms to be effective.
People who are eligible to take the pill are:
- People who have had symptoms of the novel coronavirus for five days or less
- Those who have had a positive PCR test or antigen test for COVID-19
- Those who are at high risk of complications from the novel coronavirus
- Those who are 18 years or older
How Does the Pill for COVID-19 Work?
Both Paxlovid and Molnupiravir are antiviral medications to battle COVID-19. These medications work by blocking the way the SARS-CoV-2 multiplies. By inhibiting the virus's replication ability, the medication can make the virus become inactive.
If you have been experiencing COVID-19 symptoms for five days or less, have been confirmed to be COVID-19 positive, and are at high risk of complications, then the online COVID doctor at TelMDCare can prescribe you the necessary medication to take at home.
How Can I Get Paxlovid or Molnupiravir?
The COVID-19 medication is only available to patients with a doctor's prescription. At TelMDCare, in order to get the medication, you need to show the physician the test results of your COVID-19 PCR test and speak to a doctor online from your computer or smartphone in a matter of minutes.
