Test to Treat

Oral Antivirals: Paxlovid and Lagevrio (Molnupiravir)

WHAT are oral antivirals?

Oral antivirals are pills that stop the virus that causes COVID-19 from making copies of itself in your body. One oral antiviral is called Paxlovid, and the other is called Lagevrio (also known as molnupiravir).

WHO is eligible to use oral antivirals?

• Paxlovid: Adults and children (12 years of age and older, weighing at least 88 pounds [40 kg]), who are at high risk for getting very sick from COVID-19 and who have mild to moderate symptoms.
• Lagevrio: Adults 18 years and older who are at high risk for getting very sick from COVID-19 and who do not have access to other COVID-19 outpatient treatment options, or other treatment options are not appropriate for them and who have mild to moderate symptoms.

WHEN do you have to use oral antivirals?

Start using oral antivirals as soon as possible after you test positive for COVID-19—no later than 5 days after your first symptoms appear. These pills are taken at home two times a day for 5 days.

HOW do you get oral antivirals?

Oral antivirals are available with a prescription from a health care provider and through the Test to Treat program. Paxlovid may also be prescribed by a state-licensed pharmacist.
