Background: This research article delves into the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the efficacy and, particularly, the safety of the combination of nirmatrelvir with ritonavir, which is found in the pharmaceutical product Paxlovid. This study aims to analyze the potential interactions of commonly prescribed medicinal products with Paxlovid, shedding light on its utilization in specific medical fields.
Methods: Prescription data from the Czech Republic's Institute of Health Information and Statistics (IHIS CR) was analyzed, covering 4 million COVID-19 patients and 87.

Background: Prior case series suggest that a 5-day course of oral Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir) benefits some people with Long COVID, within and/or outside of the context of an acute reinfection. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no prior case series of people with Long COVID who have attempted longer courses of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir.
Methods: We documented a case series of 13 individuals with Long COVID who initiated extended courses (>5 days; range: 7.

Elderly patients with multiple concomitant chronic diseases are the particularly vulnerable during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, which accounts for a large number of COVID-19-related deaths. The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) on in-hospital mortality in a secondary hospital in China. A cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted using electronic medical data collected from Shanghai Gonghui Hospital from April 2022 to June 2022.

Background: Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir is effective in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection. It can cause drug‒drug interactions (DDIs), even several days after withdrawal, due to irreversible inhibition of the cytochrome enzyme.
Methods: Hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection and treated with nirmatrelvir-ritonavir were retrospectively included according to preset criteria.

Antiviral drugs likely remain effective against the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, while monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies have experienced drops in neutralizing ability. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aims to estimate the comparative effectiveness of antivirals and mAb therapies for treating COVID-19 patients infected with Omicron, capturing primarily acute outcomes. We searched multiple databases from July 4 to July 19, 2022, with updates through November 4, 2022.
