Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of covid-19. Additional information: Caller had questions regarding potential drug drug interactions with her medications, did not take Paxlovid yet, waiting for the pharmacy to notify her when they will have her prescription ready for her. Concerned about potential interaction with other medication metformin ( I believe caller stated 500 ) twice a day one in the morning and one at night, I was taking Jardiance (finished that one, don't have any left) but now I have to start with Januvia ( her doctor switched her to Januvia) diabetic medicine, one in the morning but not started it yet. per caller was afraid to take it, because she needed to take that covid medication. per caller I also take for my blood pressure Atenolol ( per caller he (doctor) got me on the higher dosage than (I believe caller stated)15 and I was on and I am still finishing up the other remainder of my other, blood pressure medicine and I only had 25mg but now this one is 50 mg and I am thinking it is going to be too much for me it is going to be too strong, but I haven't tried it yet and then I take a gastric reflux medicine Famotidine and also for gastric reflux I take Omeprazole and I believe caller stated I thought caller stated Lovastatin for cholesterol ( but call got disconnected so I called back) upon a callback verified that it was actually a Pravastatin for cholesterol no a lovastatin. Per caller I had all my Pfizer shots my booster shots except for, I got it last year I got a shot, but i haven't had them for this year yet, but I just got tested positive the day before yesterday, for covid so I don't think I am eligible to get the vaccine for couple of months or so, since I am positive now I believe there is a waiting period before I can get that, before I can get vaccinated again, because of my high risk the reason why my healthcare provider yesterday she was a new provider to me decided to prescribe a covid medication for me at lower dosage, because of me being diabetic I am 63 almost 64 (years old) I am prone to the respiratory infections, per caller I am afraid to take it (paxlovid) I am afraid not to take it (paxlovid) per caller I hate to not take it and get worse, but I had to take it and have some crazy side effects. Per caller I was quite sick and everything, I have been feeling really sick, caller reported having "nasty cough" per caller was prescribed Paxlovid because of diabetes age and higher risk for complications with covid was prescribed lower dose, of covid medication. per caller my 5 day window will be up tomorrow, but it is still ok to take it today. per caller posted the question regarding potential interactions for the pharmacy and they did not know. per caller had called 3 pharmacies and they did not have a medication at the pharmacy one offered to order it for her. wanted to know if she can take Paxlovid with her regular medications. per caller she was on Pravastatin because she has tried other cholesterol medicines because she could not tolerate the other one he(doctor) tried per caller other medication was not agreeing with me. per caller this one does not have side effects that the other ones do per caller it does not give me muscle aches, doesn't give me diarrhea, it doesn't give me any side effects that the other cholesterol medications did. the other ones she had tried before this one. I just want to know what I can take what I cannot take. per caller if they are making this covid medication for covid or any other conditions because people take a lot of medicines that could counteract and I don't know what to do, should I take them together or should I stop taking my medications with Paxlovid and if yes how to restart (refer caller to treating HCP explained that Pfizer can provide information form PI ,which I did but we cannot provide treatment recommendations, again refer to treating HCP regarding her individual situation) per caller she was so sick and not feeling well that she forgot to ask HCP about potential drug interactions if she should stop or continue taking her medications with Paxlovid (refer to HCP). Caller indicated that Pfizer should have more information, more information about more medications, potential drug interactions that people are taking especially with diabetes, hypertension or heart conditions. Cholesterol. per caller we lost my brother-in-law to covid almost 3 years ago so a bit afraid about that too. per caller she was prescribed a lower dose (but could not find information about exact dose at the time of the call) per caller because of her diabetes, and because of the kidney and because of my kidney function because she looked at my blood work yesterday. per caller she was prescribed lower dose of Paxlovid for kidney protection. in terms of kidney function/renal impairment caller stated I am in early stages. was told that she was good but not great. Per caller doctor after looking at her kidney numbers told her that she will be giving her lower dose of Paxlovid because it will be better for her and her kidneys. per caller with every new medicine I get scared before trying it. Don't you have results was it good experience for patients to take the medication or not? per caller her sister is prediabetic. Per caller no one was able to tell her if she should take her medications today so she is not taking them today. (refer to HCP) per caller I had a major surgery few years ago, going up 3 years ago now, after my surgery I was on two different medications I had to stop my metformin I had to stop certain medications for a short period of time because I was on the medicines after my surgery. off course after I could take my medications, I started taking them as usual. Why they only make it 5 days? Consumer stated, "Okay, the reason I am calling is because yesterday, well I have COVID-19, I was tested positive with it, so yesterday I had a Teladoc appointment, a video medical appointment. So, the healthcare provider she prescribed Paxlovid for me to start taking today but I was wondering about the side effect and I am also wondering if I could take it along with my other daily medications that I normally take every day." Consumer stated, "I just want to include that she prescribed a lower dose of it not the full strength dose but the lower dosage for me." When probed if the consumer has started taking Paxlovid yet or not, consumer stated, "No, I am waiting for the pharmacy. What happened was, like I say I had a Teladoc appointment yesterday on the video call but I had tested positive for COVID on Wednesday and so I had my video call yesterday with a provider for my COVID symptoms and everything. I have been feeling pretty sick all week, you know, for a couple of days or so a few days. So, she prescribed me that medication to take in a lower dosage but I had to order through my local pharmacy, the pharmacist had ordered it special for me. As soon as it comes in today, he is going to call me and I am going to, I am supposed to start it as soon as I get the medication today (26Sep2025)."
