FDA Approves First Oral Antiviral Drug for COVID-19— After widespread use for more than a year, Paxlovid gains full agency blessing. The FDA has granted full approvalopens in a new tab or window to nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (Paxlovid) for treating adult outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19 who are at risk for severe disease, the agency announced on Thursday.

 "Today's approval demonstrates that Paxlovid has met the agency's rigorous standards for safety and effectiveness, and that it remains an important treatment option for people at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including those with prior immunity," Patrizia Cavazzoni, MD, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a statement. 

"Prescribers should review all medications taken by the patient to assess for potential drug-drug interactions and determine if other medicines that a patient may be taking require a dose adjustment, interruption and/or additional monitoring," according to the FDA. "Prescribers should consider the benefit of Paxlovid treatment in reducing hospitalization and death, and whether the risk of potential drug-drug interactions for an individual patient can be appropriately managed."
