The ability to treat SARS-CoV-2 has changed the course of the pandemic, allowing for people who are potentially at higher risk of severe disease to be treated with antivirals which are aimed to limit viral replication. Paxlovid is a combination antiviral of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir which was authorized by the FDA for use in COVID-19 in December 2021. On July 6, 2022, the FDA authorized pharmacists to prescribe Paxlovid with certain limitations. This authorization has been met with both praise and criticism. Should pharmacists prescribe Paxlovid?
