COVID Antiviral Pills Cause Life-Threatening Reactions When Used With Many Common Meds: FDA

The Epoch Times ^ | December 31, 2021 | Tammy Hung

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.

Sounds a lot like Russian roulette especially if hospitalized when given this pill, who knows what else they’ll give you that could react? Intentionally, unintentionally, or because didn’t know would be a problem and you’re the guinea

I thought Zinc and Quercetin or Hydroxychloriquine stopped the SARS-CoV-2 virus from replicating, too.

I would love to see the double blind study showing invermectin’s effectiveness wwith at least 30,000 participants. Can you produce a PDF or a link to such a peer reviewed study? The Lancet would be acceptable or scidirect. If you cannot show at least one study that meets at least this your statement is just an personal opinion and a wrong one at that so produce at least one peer reviewed study backing your assertion. Antivirals all carry risks tamaflu carries similar risks with liver or advanced kidney disease.

You mean the same Lancet that had to retract other false peer reviewed studies and articles?

That Lancet?

If you cannot show at least one study that meets at least this your statement is just an personal opinion and a wrong one at that so produce at least one peer reviewed study backing your assertion.

Peer review is meaningless. It’s just the good old boys club patting each other on the back for publishing “evidence” supporting the leading narrative of the day.

Are you confusing Ivermectin with an anti-viral? Do you really not know what it is and how it works?

“Can cause life-threatening effects when used with Vitamins C and D3, Ivermectin. HCQ, Zinc, Quercetin, Nigella Sativa, Povidone, or NAC.” /s

[upchuck]

I’d not be surprised to learn on of the ingredients of Paxlovid is Ivermectin in disguise.

Pifzer is a screwup as far as I’m concerned. Their vaxes and boosters can kill you and this pill has a slew of contraindications. Why can’t they do something right for a change? $MONEY$, that’s why.

[Socon-Econ]

It’s not a conspiracy — many meds cannot be used with other meds. Why should it be different here? Add warnings and let the users decide.

[Gaffer]

One would think that this whole debacle is just an elaborate plan to rid the country/world of its aging and sick population. The “VAX” has just enough death-dealing to affect certain vulnerables and leave others fat, dumb and happy - confident that they’ve done their part to save the world - minus all the old and sick people who will cost them a bundle in immediate and future medical support.

go ahead and scrap it, doesn’t matter, money has already been paid...

Omnicrud may be infecting a lot of families out here in Cali. land, before and now, after
Christmas.

Earlier, I had posted about this crud before Christmas impacting a family of all ages and spread across N. California. No serious illness nor hospitalizations. Everyone was up to date with their vaccinations.

This morning, my wife got a phone call from a woman in her Bible study group of women from their mid 60’s to early 80’s. This woman is in her early 80’s, is basically healthy and fully vaccinated.

Her fully vaccinated two adult sons and their wives got the newest crud from a grandson/nephew home from college. He thought that he had a cold and pollen allergies. Like all if not most College students in California, he was/is fully vaccinated.

We didn’t have testing done, and we think that the Omni crud hit one of our adult sons in this December, and then, he passed it on to us.

He was fully vaccinated including his booster shot, and he got hammered fairly hard. He apparently passed it on to me, and I shared it with my wife. Whatever we had was like a serious cold without the fever for 3-5 days. Besides having running noses and feeling exhausted during the day, we had both hot flashes and shivers in bed for a few nights. Our tv was playing Christmas music and showing the burning fireplace log.

I sometimes nap in my Lazy Boy but never really sleep before the crud. One time with the crud, my wife timed me, and I slept over 2 hours in the afternoon sitting in my Lazy Boy.

My wife, seldom naps, and she has been laying down on a sofa, covering with a throw and taking about a 30 minute nap since her visit with the crud, a few hours after lunch and sometimes not finishing her lunch, until after she takes a nap.

We are hearing from coast to coast from friends and relatives basically the same, as noted above. All ages and both sexes are getting this crud in spite of being vaccinated and in good health before its visit.

No one has gone to a hospital nor needed to go. No body is taking any heavy duty drugs, rx or OTC..

Most of us, are basically over this new crud in a few days. The Church Lady above, is going to self isolate for a full 10 days and limit outside personal contact to avoid passing the crud on to others.

You’re a complicated cynic, but contradictory & inconsistent - blatantly hypocritical as it pertains to the medical establishment - as you troll FR on medical topics. I use the word with purpose - ‘troll’ - given your history here, in particular on the so-called ‘vaccines’ and ‘unapproved’ therapeutics.

“Heightened awareness” once freed us from monarchy; someday it may free us from renewed tyranny. On the OP, your Buffalo Springfield quote is Straw man, consistent with your trolling comments and, most pertinently, contradictory to prior comments assuming, of course, that you actually grasp the meaning of For What It’s Worth (your prior posts certainly are not demonstrative). Shameful, considering that you actually appeared to be a Conservative pre-’crisis’.

In that respect, I don’t view the virus - or ‘vaccines’ - as a catalyst but, rather, as a reagent.

Using your own words,

“If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck; it’s a duck.”

I've come to trust in what doctors and do medical professionals do.

I no longer take anything they say or think -- anything -- without a very healthy dose of skepticism as do many millions of Americans ... and that is a very, very unfortunate situation.

Sounds like you have it under control.

”So Pfizermectin isn’t as good as Ivermectin.”

Yup. Dozens of studies done by independents have proven over and over that Ivermectin is extremely effective and safe. There’s no money in it for big Pharma or Merck since their patent has expired, and so they have paid off the CDC and FDA to trash the medicine, Ivermectin.

And to those who think it’s clever to joke about “horse paste,” Ivemectin has been prescribed for HUMANS since 1981. You may want to also do some research on the topic.
