I am 76 and had Covid for the first time in December 2023. My doctor said I could take Paxlovid
(my son did when he had Covid), but she said it was hard on the kidneys so I chose not to.
My son said Paxlovid helped him.
It is hard to know......we always hear different recommendations.

Thanks for your reply.
So far I do not feel I have any bad side effects with having taken the Paxlovid. I drink a lot of water every day and that may have helped with taking it.
I have developed, what I feel is, a mild head cold immediately after having finished the Paxlovid, It may be secondary to Covid, the head cold symptoms. I made Dr. appointment to be checked out as a precautionary measure.
Yes, it is hard to know....I rarely took many of the med's the doctors had suggested in years past and did fine until the BE diagnosis. So with BE ......this time my gut said "take it."
