In fact, I got the list of drugs that interact with Paxlovid from the Pfizer Internet site. I too am on Atorvastatin (Lipitor) 80mg. I asked another Cardiologist on 5/13/22 what to do and he said I could interrupt the Atorvastain/Lipitor during the Paxlovid treatment if I should need to take it because I catch Covid. My understanding is that Paxlovid is not intended for all individuals, but just for individuals at a higher risk for serious disease. In February I took Merck's antiviral Molnupiravir, and it helped. I was recovering from lung surgery one month before, and my cough became very congested. Also, my recovery seemed to be slowing. Mulnupiravir is also a five day dose. It helped immediately for my cough. Fortunately, I had mild case of Covid (I had 2 first shots and one booster of Pfizer four months before I tested positive)
