Covid Antiviral Medications
Antiviral medications may be taken to reduce symptoms of Covid in a similar way that antibiotics may reduce symptoms from bacterial infections. In order to have the maximum benefit of these antiviral medications, it is important to start them immediately after being diagnosed with Covid by either a positive RAT or PCR test. These medications offer no benefit if commenced after 5 days of Covid symptoms. Como GP offers streamlined prescribing of Covid antiviral medications with all patients offered a telephone appointment for a prescription as an urgent fit-in appointment within 1 hour of calling Como GP. Please note that at the doctor’s discretion, antiviral medications may be prescribed for all patients over 18 years of age, however, only those patients meeting specific government defined criteria are able to have a PBS subsidised script.
Two antiviral medications are presently available with the consent and information forms provided below:
MOLNUPIRAVIR (LAGEVRIO)
NIRMATRELVIR/RITONAVIR (PAXLOVID)
