7 ай бұрынA new study in Annals of Internal Medicine suggests that one in five COVID patients who take nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid) may experience viral rebound, a far higher proportion than seen in prior analyses.
In this video, study author Mark Siedner, MD, MPH, of Harvard Medical School in Boston, discusses the research and how it may inform best use of the antiviral.

I have Covid rebound now. I’m 63 years old. Took Paxlovid for five days starting on day one of my symptoms and positive test. Once I finish the Paxlovid I felt good for two days,by the third day, I was sick again. My symptoms are much more intense,I am on day 11 and still very symptomatic and Covid positive.

They call it rebound but I think it could be that 5 days of paxlovid is not enough to destroy all the virus and so it multiplies again. A 10 day course may be the answer but doctors aren't allowed to prescribe that!!

74 yo paxlovid day2 helped reduce covid symptoms but I never tested negative during or at end of regime. Now at day11 still positive. Symptoms are manageable

I believe the problem is simply that the 5 day course is too short. Simple as that.

The studies that it reduces hospitalizations is greatly manipulated & flawed, too, as evidenced by real-world evidence -- especially in the current iterations of C-19, which hospitalizes hardly anyone. Those who are counted as "hospitalized" with C-19, as mostly just that. They are in the hospital for X, Y or Z, but happen to have C-19 as well.

Wish I had seen this before I took paxlovid, because I went out of isolation too soon and exposed my family just before Christmas. 😢
