COVID-19: Health Canada approves Pfizer’s antiviral pill for treatment | FULL

Health Canada’s chief medical advisor Dr. Supriya Sharma announced on Monday that the department has approved Pfizer’s Paxlovid antiviral pill for COVID-19 treatment.

The medication is intended for use as soon as possible after diagnosis of COVID-19 and within five days of the start of symptoms, Health Canada added.

Pfizer's COVID-19 therapeutic, which has to be prescribed, is the first COVID-19 treatment pill approved for at-home use in Canada.

Paxlovid should not be used to prevent infection or to treat patients who are already hospitalized due to severe or critical COVID-19, nor should it be taken for longer than five days in a row.

A Pfizer spokesperson told Global News the company is ready to start delivery in Canada immediately. Some supply is already in the country and will be distributed this week, however, it is limited at this time.

Until more Paxlovid pills make it into Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada has offered suggestions about how to best use or triage the current supply. It currently recommends prioritizing the pill for people who are at the highest risk for severe illness and hospitalization, such as the immunocompromised.

The English-French translator makes it so you can't hear what the French doctor and business man is saying. He mentioned a lot of things the translator didn't say. I felt like this also was another waste of time. Please write a news article on your presentation of this anti-viral drug instead.

"10 of the review committee voted them down because of skewed data, and because they accelerated viral mutation" ... yeah, no thanks!!!

[ravenferguson]

They won't stop till they get this stuff in everyone, i'll refuse till my death

The study has a predefined outcome. Not a inquiry into the safety that's dangerous

[Joe-jcol]

If their first product worked we wouldn't be needing this second product... Is that the business plan? To sell placebos?
Also, since you can now cure it and it no longer kills people, can I go out now Quebec?

"PAXLOVID is not approved for any use, including for use as treatment of COVID-19". There are limited clinical data available for PAXLOVID. Serious and unexpected adverse events may occur. Anyone read the data sheet for this drug?

[korky]

They approve anything these days, certainly doesn’t mean they are effective or safe..the current concoction for instance!

[stebwald]

Does anyone else feel as if this whole thing has gotten beyond "silly" and into "unbelievable and absurd"? ??
Or is it just me?

Congratulations! Another poison is on the market!
