California Department of Public Health Officials is urging people who contract COVID-19 and are at risk of serious illness, to use COVID-19 treatments.
Paxlovid and Remdesivir are among the treatments available to people. Both treatment options are more effective when taken within days of being symptomatic.
“You’ve got to get those medications within five days for the most part and the sooner that you start taking those medications the better. So as soon as you start to notice symptoms, that's when the clock starts, it's about a five-day window but really the sooner the better,” UCSD Chief of Infectious Diseases Dr. Davey Smith said.
While touting the efficacy of the current treatments Infectious Disease Specialists are already looking to improve the treatments in the future. “Well, new therapies are coming. I'm helping work on some. And hopefully, that will mean the next generation of therapies work better,” Dr. Smith said.
