Not everyone should take Pfizer's COVID-19 antiviral drug, doctors say
that Pfizer released in June showed that the drug doesn’t significantly reduce the number of symptoms among people of any vaccination status who are at moderate risk of severe disease, compared to those not taking it. “That data changed how I see the medication, which was once hailed as a game changer,” says Dr. Anand Viswanathan, assistant professor of medicine at NYU Langone Health.
With improved access, some experts believe the drug may now be overprescribed. Paxlovid is still one of only a few COVID-19 antiviral treatments authorized by the FDA so people are still asking for it. “There is probably some overprescribing or prescribing in low-risk people,” says Dr. Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and an infectious disease physician.
