The Food and Drug Administration has recently released new provider information to assist in prescribing Paxlovid for treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19. The AMA is sharing this information at the request of the FDA Commissioner to assist in increasing use of Paxlovid for treatment of COVID-19 positive patients. The information provides clarity around patient eligibility for Paxlovid and includes a patient eligibility screening checklist for use by prescribers. It also includes guidance on managing drug-drug interactions with Paxlovid.
Additionally, the FDA is hosting a stakeholder call for provider organizations on Friday, May 6th at 1:00pm EDT. The webinar will be available at the link below and will include open Q&A time for any questions on use of Paxlovid.
