Hi all, my government import two drugs, one from MSD and one from Pfizer for the local epidemic. Did anyone here use the drugs mentioned? Would you mind sharing the experience? Is it helpful to the covid symptoms, esp for asthmatics? How about the adverse reactions related?

P.S. Luckily I am still remain uninfected at this moment...

Hi four4. I am not sure if you are referring to the Pfizer vaccine or not. I received the Pfizer vaccine twice and also the booster. There were no side effects for me at all for any of them. I contracted Omicron in December, and my symptoms were very mild. The omicron did not affect my lungs at all. Headache and extreme fatigue at times, but overall if I didn't know I had omicron, I would have thought of it as a mild bug and would not visit the doctor. It lasted about 5 days. Everyone here in the states are very happy with it. Hope this helps. 😊

I had the antiviral tablets and am convinced they stopped covid in its tracks. However have had fatigue and exhaustion for a couple of weeks. But believe I’d have been in hospital had I not had them thank you NHS and the scientists x

I am still unvaccinated due to history of allergies. That is a good news to me for having oral treatment available. Thank you for the reply.
