  • Indicated for mild to moderate COVID-19 infection
  • Combination medication includes: nirmatrelvir, a protease inhibitor that interferes with viral replication, and ritonavir, which boosts levels of nirmatrelvir by interfering with CYP3A-mediated drug metabolism

Dosing

  • Mild-to-moderate COVID-19 (within 5 days of symptom onset): nirmatrelvir/ritonavir 300 mg/100 mg p.o. bid for 5 days

Renal Dosing

  • eGFR ≥60 mL/min: no adjustment
  • eGFR 30-59 mL/min: 150 mg/100 mg p.o. bid
  • eGFR <30 mL/min: 300 mg/100 mg load on day 1, followed by 150 mg/100 mg p.o daily for 4 more days
  • Dialysis:
    • Weight ≥40 kg: 300 mg/100 mg load on day 1, followed by 150 mg/100 mg p.o daily for 4 more days
