If it’s Covid, it’s Paxlovid
- Thread starter jglewis414
- Start date
No. Just another $$solution from Pfizer that's not really a solution.
I started it within a few hours of my positive test, and only felt really bad for about an hour or so the whole five days. Would that have been the case without it? Hard to say.
Yes, it works OP. I took it on one occasion and it very quickly starts loosening the junk in your lungs. You have to start treatment within 5 days of a positive test.

The taste it leaves in your mouth is IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of
Just fight the virus with fluids and vitamins. None of this stuff truly works without side effects.
If you weren’t considered a big-hearted guy prior to Paxlovid, you’ll certainly have a big heart AFTER Paxlovid!
That's what she said
but seriously, most antivirals meds are going to be exponentially more effective the sooner you start taking them. If you start to feel like crap/symptomatic for Flu, COVID etc. then get tested and if positive get on Famiflu or Xofluza (Flu) or Paxlovid (COVID). They interfere with viral replication so the limiting of the amount of virus in your system/ability to replicate and infect other cells will greatly decrease the time you feel sick while your immune response handle the rest. If you wait 48 hours+ the viral load in your system is great enough that the drugs won't do much.
FYA: they now sell at home rapid tests that test for both COVID and Flu A/B. I stumbled across them at Kroger the other today but you can also order from Amazon etc. You'd still need to see a Dr./Nurse Practioner (CVS MinuteClinic) to write you a script for antivirals but if you want to rule those out it's a good thing to keep on hand and let you know whether you need to go to Dr. or if it's just a common rhinovirus.

Only if you want Covid again in 10 days. It’s very good at that
Take everything that DT was ridiculed for and you will be fine in 5 days.
In fact they are now recommended on the CDC website.
Will wait to make my decision until I hear from Dr. Clay Travis.
I suppose it works to some degree, but the real benefit is that they get to guinea-pig off of you and get data for this class of drug's future use.
My wife tested positive on New Year’s Eve and is still in the bed feeling sick. She didn’t take the Paxlovid.
It differs for everyone. I had my second stint with Covid, and didn't take any of those new experimental drugs, and I only felt bad for about an 1 or few, and it was basically a typical cold after that, but all symptoms pretty much gone after 5 days or so if I'm recalling correctly.
Dude, you are cray. 🤣 You make me feel I'm going to bad places for laughing at some of your stuff, but I have to fight it off and stifle it.
That's just wrong man.
Zinc lozenges for sure. Start at the first twinges of you catching something.
I haven't had to move stuff to COVID CORNER in a while. Sweet! Hey OP, we have en entire forum for this kind of flame-bait hate b.s. everyone-is-an-epidemiologist blah blah blah.
ps: A friend of mine who works as a nurse in central Alabama has her ER loaded with COVID patients again. You can tell me I'm wrong, but that doesn't make it less true.

"Research has found mixed results for zinc's efficacy against COVID, and official recommendations do not suggest that you should consume more zinc to prevent the illness."
Zinc for prevention and treatment of the common cold - PubMed
The findings suggest that zinc supplementation may have little or no effect on the prevention of colds but may reduce the duration of ongoing colds, with an increase in non-serious adverse events. Overall, there was wide variation in interventions (including concomitant therapy) and outcomes...

Zinc showed to prevent rhinovirus infection in vitro a while ago and everyone went crazy with it.
It also stops some people up like a MF and they can't poop for three days. Nobody mentions that.Zinc for prevention and treatment of the common cold - PubMed

I wish COVID was as benign as the common cold. Then my friend Sekou Smith would still be here!
Well aware Commadore, just tossing out my duly
I've got my little routines down, and during/close to the pandemic, I had multiple instances where someone in the group called everyone to say they tested positive, and I was the only one that didn't get popped. Must be doing something right.

I've done ALL kinds of personal experiments, and I'm firmly convinced that the lozenges, (when used properly/effectively), really do help minimize the impact of a cold, or help you avoid one altogether if you get on an EFFECTIVE routine before the virus has replicated a lot and spread.
But that said, man's age old technique of just riding them out with a little dinosaur noodle soup is certainly a choice that some will make.
LOL! If it's a relatively new drug, that works through relatively new mechanisms, and we don't have a lot of usage data, then I classify it as experimental.
Of course, that's just my personal two cents. But you do you Boo and take all of the electric/battery powered Paxlovid, Remdesivir, or Molnupiravir that you'd like.
God loves him more than my friend Sekou. That's what I gained out of this.
I'm just funning with Gatorz. Didn't mean to make light of your loss at all, or ALL of the millions who lost their lives (if I inadvertently did so).
Gotcha, so it’s not actually experimental, because you know it doesn’t actually qualify as such.LOL! If it's a relatively new drug, that works through relatively new mechanisms, and we don't have a lot of usage data, then I classify it as experimental.

They are all definitely new drugs that didn't go through the typical approval life-cycle, but I don't want to go there and get the thread moved.
Truth is true whether any of us like it or not. I'm certainly not trying to get folks to stop taking any of those new drugs.
There’s mountains of safety data for all these drugs. Paxlovid and the mRNA vaccines have all been fully approved now, so you should probably update your opinion.
Not going there my man. Sorry, but you're going to have to recruit someone else to engage you.
I'm sure that you carefully curate your medical decisions based on lots of great information. I respect your right to make those decisions as you and your medical providers see fit.
