Patients have been asking about the new #COVID19 #antivirals.

I looked into the effectiveness of two well-publicised 'game changer' anti-virals, #Paxlovid and #Lagrevio ImageImage
On the Pfizer medication which has widespread coverage in the media - #Paxlovid - well it is unpublished, though the FDA issued an emergency approval. Pfizer website has minimal info.

But is looks like- for HIGH RISK patients only- it reduces the risk
of hospitalisation or death by 3.5% (that is 29 people needed to be treated, so that 1 benefits).

Caveats ++ as unsure on side effects, cost etc. but that is genuinely useful, yet prob not the 'gamechanger' for community care, which #COVIDcelebs would lead us believe.
