COVID-19 Medications We Prescribe Online

Most people recover from COVID-19 with supportive care, but antiviral medications can help reduce the risk of severe illness for certain patients.

‍

Common treatments include:

Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir): A preferred oral antiviral for mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in patients at higher risk.
Lagevrio (molnupiravir): An alternative antiviral option when other treatments are not appropriate.
Symptom management: Guidance on over-the-counter treatments for fever, cough, and body aches.

Before prescribing, your clinician will review your medical history, current medications, and any potential drug interactions, especially for Paxlovid.
