The evaluation of protease inhibition for COVID-19 in high-risk patients
(EPIC-HR) trial findings indicated that orally administered
nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (Paxlovid) lowered COVID-19-associated
hospitalization risks by 89%

March 21, 2023 - CHECK FOR SIDE EFFECTS.

I've read that it might not be good for CKD patients:

Paxlovid isn't recommended for people with severe kidney or liver
problems. If you have moderate kidney problems, you'll only take
one nirmatrelvir tablet per dose instead of two

   You probably know of Paxlovid as an antiviral drug that can help make COVID
      infections less severe. Now, a new study found that Paxlovid reduces the
      risk of long COVID as well. 
   They compared outcomes in people who received Paxlovid within 5 days of COVID
      symptoms with people who did not receive Paxlovid.
   Remember - NOT considered good for Kidney patients - check for other caveats
