A study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine on March 23 found that people who took the drug within five days of being diagnosed with COVID-19 had a longer life expectancy than those who did not take it. The risk was seen to be reduced by 26 percent.
In this research, it was found that the drug sold under the name Paxlovid reduced the risk of post-acute death by 47 percent and the risk of hospitalization by 24 percent after Kovid-19. The post Covid-19 condition (PCC), also known as ‘prolonged Covid’, affects many people. Prevention of PCC is a new public health priority. If this medicine is used from time to time, it reduces the risk of PCC. Due to which the possibility of death of people decreases.
