Study Warns Paxlovid Can Interact With Common Medications
|
 [Epoch Times] The COVID-19 drug Paxlovid can have dangerous interactions with common medications used to treat cardiovascular disease, warned doctors in a new review paper.
A paper published Wednesday in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology shows Pfizer’s Paxlovid, can interact with a number of commonly prescribed cardiovascular medications.
"Co-administration of [Paxlovid] with medications commonly used to manage cardiovascular conditions can potentially cause significant drug-drug interactions and may lead to severe adverse effects," said an abstract. "It is crucial to be aware of such interactions and take appropriate measures to avoid them."
A U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fact sheet (pdf) of Paxlovid for health care providers goes into detail about possible drug interactions that can prompt life-threatening reactions.
The medications include but aren’t limited to anti-seizure medications, drugs for irregular heart rhythms, drugs for high blood pressure and high cholesterol, antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications, steroids, HIV treatments, blood thinners, and erectile dysfunction medications.
