On this week’s episode of Fast Facts – Perio Edition, Katrina Sanders talks to us about the prescription of Paxlovid and some associated side effects such as dysgeusia.
Quotes:
“It’s an oral antiviral pill that can be taken at home to help keep high-risk patients from getting sick and needing to be hospitalized.”
“This additive product is called Ritonavir, and this is an added medicament that is applied to a lot of different antiretroviral drugs.”
“Be sure if you have a patient who has taken paxlovid that you are inquiring about if they’re still experiencing Dysgeusia, and if so, how it is that they’re managing it.”
