Can an elderly heart patient on ACE inhibitor, Beta Blocker, Statin, and, most important, blood thinner receive Paxlovid or infusion if he contracts covid?
The primary physician or pharmacist should be the person(s) responsible for assessing whether a person may be eligible for Paxlovid oral therapy, as there are specific drug-to-drug interactions that have to be carefully considered. Physicians can rely upon a number of easily accessible online tools to help with this evaluation, including a PAXLOVID Patient Eligibility Screening Checklist Tool from the FDA. Therapy with Paxlovid should be initiated as early as possible.
