Abstract:
Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir can be a useful COVID-19 treatment but is challenging to prescribe safely because of drug-drug interactions. This study describes our experience prescribing nirmatrelvir/ritonavir within a small interdisciplinary team with a specific focus on management of drug-drug interactions. Ascertaining and communicating modifications of concomitant medications is a key safety element.
