"I love your desire to help, but I do worry with your site that you do not caution people about Paxlovid. It is very dangerous with many very common medications, I take at least 6 that interact with Paxlovid, and for transplant patients taking tacrolimus it can cause you to lose your transplant (especially if they force you to take it vs. a totally safe and equally effective Remdesivir or Bebtelovimab) or damage your kidney, liver or both. Most doctors are not very aware of the problems and now with the McDoctors prescribing it over the phone if you tell them you have covid, I think it is even more important that people know the risks. I personally feel that the manufacturer is lobbying successfully to continually lessen the warnings, so you would possibly be saving the lives or at least some serious health issues by providing links to drug interaction sites such as liverpool, and tell patients they should check every medication and supplement they take with the checker before talking to their doctor about getting Paxlovid.
