These antiviral medications have been shown to effectively treat COVID-19 infection caused by the omicron variant in high-risk patients:
- Paxlovid.
- Molnupiravir.
- Sotrovimab.
- Remdesivir.
In late December 2021, the FDA issued emergency use authorizations, also called EUAs, for oral antiviral drugs Paxlovid and Molnupiravir for the treatment of COVID-19. They’re recommended for patients with COVID-19 symptoms who are not hospitalized or in need of oxygen therapy, but are at high risk of progressing to a severe case of COVID-19.
“Paxlovid is very effective early on,”…………
“It really shows a superb decrease in need for hospitalization or death within 30 days, if you can treat someone with Paxlovid within the first three to five days after they’ve been diagnosed with COVID-19,” says O'Donnell.
Molnupiravir, the other new antiviral, also works for high risk patients, but it is not as strong. “Molnupiravir has a less robust improvement response compared to Paxlovid,” O’Donnell says. “It has activity but not as much as Paxlovid.”
