FDA: Anti-COVID Pills Dangerous When Used With Common Meds
Pfizer’s antiviral oral drug developed to treat COVID-19 can cause severe or life-threatening effects when used with common medications including some anti-coagulants, some anti-depressants, and some cholesterol-lowering statins, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (pdf).
FDA does not recommend Paxlovid for those with severe kidney or liver disease.
The FDA on Dec. 22 granted emergency use authorization (EUA) to Pfizer’s COVID-19 treatment pill as treatment for mild-to-moderate cases of COVID-19 in patients from 12 years of age.
Paxlovid was the first oral medication of its kind authorized by the FDA to treat COVID-19, with the aim of reducing the need for hospitalization before patients become too ill from the infection.
“This authorization provides a new tool to combat COVID-19 at a crucial time in the pandemic as new variants emerge and promises to make antiviral treatment more accessible to patients who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19,” stated Patrizia Cavazzoni, director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
Paxlovid consists of a cocktail of two drugs, the first being nirmatrelvir, which stops the SARS-CoV-2 virus from replicating, while the second component acts to prolong the duration of nirmatrelvir.
The EUA came a month after the federal government announced it would purchase 10 million courses of the drug.
Earlier in November, the Biden administration had already purchased some 10 million courses of the drug in a more than $5 billion agreement.
“Pending EUA, U.S. will receive doses starting in 2021 and throughout 2022 as part of contract agreement with Pfizer,” Health and Human Services (HHS) stated in a statement.
HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra on Nov. 18 emphasized the importance of “getting vaccinated” even when Paxlovid becomes available.
“Getting vaccinated remains the most important action anyone can take to help protect themselves and others and end this pandemic, but for people who do get sick in the future and are at risk of severe outcomes, having pills they can take to keep them out of the hospital could be a lifesaver,” Becerra stated. “This agreement would help ensure millions of doses of this drug would be available to the American people if it is authorized.”
Earlier in December, Pfizer announced that the pill is able to reduce the risk of hospitalization or death from the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus by 89 percent when taken shortly after initial symptoms.
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on Dec. 8 told CNBC that shipments of the pill have arrived in the United States, “so product will be available this month if it’s approved.”

The 89%,….is that relative or absolute risk reduction?

You know the answer. It is bound to be a relative risk reduction based on worthless trial data.

@ “which stops the SARS-CoV-2 virus from replicating,” Wow, I hope they have some basis for their claim, But, unfortunately, no one has worked with the virus because it has never been isolated and identified.
Desperation, at its best, for selling the fake story of the virus and the “treatments.”

Where is the proof that nobody has worked with the virus and it has never been isolated?

As an example, vaccines have been developed without testing against the virus or in patients because no virus or virus-infected patients were available. No COVID-19 patients were available during the deadliest virus pandemic – something to think about.

You cannot “PROVE” a negative. The question that should be asked is: Where is the proof that the virus exists. If you can answer that one Alan you’re on a winner.

If the drug companies were ethical, it would take many years of trials and testing to see how these pills react with other drugs. But that is far beyond the corrupt nature of big pharma. They want the money now, humanity isn’t worth saving.

TAKE OUR TOXIC, DEADLY GARBAGE, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This will stop when the people REALIZE an important fact: NO VIRUS! But then it’s probably already too late, and the global genocide will already have happened.
Break it down to the one single thing: show us the virus. And they can’t.
It’s more than ever necessary to debunk the criminal test procedure. These tests are not able to diagnose illness or an infection, as the infection theory was never proved, but much more important: THERE IS NO VIRUS AT ALL, so what do these tests test for?
There was never a pandemic, there is none, and there will be none. It’s all all giant hoax the enable things otherwise impossible, and they do it as always with Hegelian dialectic: create a problem (Co$hit), control the reaction (terror without end), implement the solution (Agenda 21/2030 WEF New Normal world wide slave system, transform humans into cyborgs).
All you need to know: THE ENTIRE VIROLOGY HAS BEEN REFUTED! There is no virus, no variant/mutation, and there was never a pandemic!
The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) and the Higher Regional Court (OLG) Stuttgart have made world history.
Here you can find the decision of the BGH, AZ.: I ZR 62-16 from 1.12.2016
The BGH and the Higher Regional Court Stuttgart have refuted all allegations about the suspected “measles virus”, the infection of measles and the measles vaccination.
Even more, it is now the case law of the highest court that the entire virology has been refuted.
You can find out why this is so in this text.
Here you can find the important judgment of the Higher Regional Court of Stuttgart, AZ.: 12 U 63/15 from 16.02.2016
