Reviewing Paxlovid's Emergency Use Authorization for Treatment of COVID-19 Infections
On December 22nd, 2021, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an emergency use authorization (EUA). The EUA allows Paxlovid (Pfizer's oral use tablets) to be taken to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) both in pediatric patients who are at least 12 years of age and 40 kilograms and adults with a heightened risk of progression to severe COVID-19. Only doctors can prescribe Pfizer's Paxlovid tablets. The CDC recommends using them as soon as possible once an individual notices a positive result. There has been significant controversy and conjecture regarding the validity and safety of allowing an unapproved drug for usage. Many will likely remember similar disputes arising when the FDA issued an EUA for COVID-19 Vaccines not too long ago. [i]
