Tested positive for COVID-19 again a few days after testing negative? You were not alone if you were taking antiviral Paxlovid.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a cautious alert about Paxlovid on Tuesday, acknowledging that a rebound in COVID-19 infections can occur after people take the antiviral though it’s still unclear why that happens.
“A brief return of symptoms may be part of the natural history of SARS-CoV-2 infection in some persons, independent of treatment with Paxlovid and regardless of vaccination status,” the CDC said Tuesday.The public-health agency also reiterated the Food and Drug Administration’s position that additional treatment with Paxlovid is not needed in these cases.
