Introduction: In Treatment of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Paxzen Tablet is most helpful for people with mild COVID symptoms who are at high risk of developing severe disease. Nirmatrelvir, an antiviral medicine, stops the virus from spreading into the body, and ritonavir, a booster, increases the availability of nirmatrelvir in the body to maximize the effectiveness of this combination medicine.

Benefits: Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Paxzen Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

Description: Paxzen Tablet is intended to treat mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease(COVID-19) in adults and children aged 12 years and older weighing at least 40 kg with a positive COVID-19 test and at risk of progression to severe disease. It reduces the ability of the coronavirus to multiply in the body. Paxzen Tablet works by stopping the virus from making copies of itself from being effective, it needs to be started within five days of developing COVID symptoms. It is meant for oral intake regardless of the meals. Stick to the dose and duration as prescribed by the doctor. Do not withdraw it abruptly, even if the symptoms improve within the initial few days of the ingestion and report if it worsens after five days. Complete the medicine course as prescribed. Never self-medicate at home based on symptoms without a confirmatory covid-19 test and the doctor’s prescription. Some transient side-effects of Paxzen Tablet include dysgeusia (altered taste), diarrhea, hypertension, myalgia (muscle pain) and vomiting. Consult the doctor right away in case of worrisome episodes. Inform the doctor about your complete medical history, including the use of concomitant medicines, allergies, pregnancy, history of liver disease including hepatitis C, immunocompromised conditions such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV), nursing, surgery, neurological, cardiovascular, or any other underlying medical condition. This will help the doctor formulate the treatment plan in a better way. Tell the doctor if using combined hormonal contraceptives as Paxzen Tablet may affect how the birth control pills work. Females with reproductive potential should practice other effective alternative contraceptive methods. Discuss with the doctor the use of the right contraceptive methods while taking this medication. Additionally, if taking ritonavir-containing medicines for hepatitis C, or HIV, continue taking Paxzen Tablet as prescribed.

How to Use: Paxzen Tablet is a combination of two drugs, nirmatrelvir, a SARS-CoV-2-3CL protease inhibitor and ritonavir, the HIV antiretroviral. Nirmatrelvir blocks the action of SARS-CoV-2-3CL protease enzyme, which is essential for replication of the virus. On the other hand, ritonavir prevents the breakdown of nirmatrelvir.
