Kathmandu, December 23
Pfizer’s Covid Pill has been approved for use in the United States. The US health regulator on Wednesday approved Pfizer’s covid pill, according to international media reports.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of Pfizer pills in adults and children over the age of 12 infected with covid. Similarly, people with covid infections who have early hospital symptoms may be able to use the pill at home.
Adults with obesity and heart problems will also be able to use Pfizer’s covid pill. However, people with severe kidney or liver problems will not be able to use the pill. In addition, children over 12 years of age must weigh at least 40 kg to use the pill.
The antiviral covid pill, manufactured by pharmaceutical company Merck, is also expected to be approved for use soon. But because of the general side effects and high efficacy of Pfizer’s pill is almost certain to be the man’s choice.
