WASHINGTON, D.
C.: Pfizer's Covid-19 pill Paxlovid won another vote of confidence from U.S. health advisers Thursday, clearing the way for its full regulatory approval by the Food and Drug Administration.The medication has been used by millions of Americans since the FDA granted it emergency use authorization in late 2021. The agency has the final say on giving Pfizer's drug full approval and is expected to decide by May.
High-profile cases drew attention to the issue last year, including President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden.Between 10% and 16% of patients across multiple Pfizer studies had symptoms return, regardless of whether they'd received Paxlovid or a dummy pill. Such cases 'likely reflect natural Covid-19 progression,' the FDA concluded.
