“What about Long Covid?” This is the most common question I get whenever I discuss the fact that Paxlovid has become far less useful for most people than it was back when it was first released.
Given your recent experience with Covid & this new study (and other recent studies), under what circumstances would you ever recommend Paxlovid to a fully updated vaccinated person of any age?
I must admit my initial mental juggle with factoring "inclusive" & "specific" required rereading the explanation. 🙂
Adding to J. Aloisi comment above. The explanation & rationale for offering Paxlovid to your mom... clearly a shared decision, with your mom & her primary HCP.
I made the case for my partner age 70 (immunocompromised) should she have a Covid-19 exposure. My hope being early intervention may resulted in prevention of symptoms/onset & if not lessen the degree of infection/illness.
I am most appreciative for your comment &/or other followers.
I am not expecting a specific recommendation (not appropriate & a complete medical Hx not provided). I have an extensive science background but my credentials are that of a pharmacist & not MD.
They should be trialing psychiatric and neurologic drugs for long COVID. And anything that halfway works for things like POTS and other dysautonomic conditions.

Dr. Faust, Good thoughtful and informative essay. It is evident of a lot of careful thinking and work. Thank you.
Do you know how the metformin trial is going for long covid patients ?
