PHARMACIST Fi shares how you and your doctor, together, can try to avoid medicine interactions between Paxlovid and some other medicines, herbal medicines, vitamin & mineral products, & supplements. While PHARMACIST Fi shares general ways to try to avoid Paxlovid medicine interactions in this video, she is currently making another video which looks at quite a few specific Paxlovid interactions to avoid - so stay tuned for that! PHARMACIST Fi is also making a video about how to take Paxlovid - because it needs to be taken a very particular way to work well. Here is the link to the PHARMACIST Fi video about CMIs (a CMI is a 'Consumer Medicine Information' document, which is called a 'Medication Guide' in the U.S.A., or a 'Patient Information Leaflet' in the U.K.; each medicine has a CMI, which either comes with the medicine or can be printed or emailed to you by a pharmacist or doctor): • #2: Why You Need a CMI for Each Medic... & here is the link to the PHARMACIST Fi video about making a Medicines, Allergies & Contacts List: • #1: Make a 'Medicines, Allergies and ... & here is a link to the free NPS MedicineWise App, which you are welcome to use to help you make a Medicines, Allergies & Contacts List: www.nps.org.au/medicinewiseapp Here is a link to the Australian Paxlovid CMI created June 2022 (which is the current version for July 2022) - but ask your pharmacist for the latest CMI if Paxlovid is ever prescribed for you, in case the CMI gets changed before then: www.ebs.tga.gov.au/ebs/picmi/picmirepository.nsf/p… While PHARMACIST Fi mentions in this video that the manufacturer of Paxlovid currently advises you not to use Paxlovid if you are breastfeeding or pregnant, here is some further info on these topics.... The current (July 2022) CMI for Paxlovid also more specifically advises: "You should not breast-feed your baby while taking PAXLOVID and for 7 days after stopping treatment." Because Paxlovid's manufacturer currently (July 2022) advises against taking Paxlovid if you are pregnant, they also advise in the current (July 2022) Australian Paxlovid CMI that: "Women of child-bearing potential should be on an effective contraceptive method before starting treatment and for 7 days after stopping treatment" with Paxlovid. Another option would be to not have sex during Paxlovid treatment and also not have sex until it is more than 7 days after you stopped Paxlovid treatment. During Paxlovid treatment and also for one month after stopping treatment, Paxlovid might reduce effectiveness of many common types of birth control pills, and some hormonal devices like the vaginal ring (combined contraceptives which contain ethinylestradiol; this may be written as ethinyl estradiol in some countries) - so if this may apply to you, watch Top Tip #10 in this video, and ask your doctor to help you decide which of the 3 options may be best for you. If you would like more in-depth scientific info about Paxlovid, here is a link to the Australian Paxlovid Product Information (revised 20 July 2022, and current in July 2022) - but remember to ask your pharmacist for the latest product information if you ever need Paxlovid - in case the info in this document may be changed due to new research in the coming months or years: www.ebs.tga.gov.au/ebs/picmi/picmirepository.nsf/p… The rules around who is eligible for Paxlovid may vary between countries and over time (for example, Australian rules just changed recently), but the general overall theme expressed in the Australian CMI July 2022 is that Paxlovid is currently "used to treat COVID-19 in adults who are at increased risk of hospitalization or death", and Paxlovid Product Information July 2022 states it "should be taken as soon as possible after a diagnosis of COVID-19 has been made and within 5 days symptoms onset". Your doctor and pharmacist will have access to the eligibility criteria in your country, which might change over time (for example: due to new research findings). Here is a link to a PHARMACIST Fi video about medicine interactions (this video has general info and is not specific to Paxlovid), in case it may also be of interest to you: • #3: Why You Need a Medicine Interacti... We hope this info has been helpful for you! Please also see the disclaimer at the end of this video.
