Antivirals

[Main1234]

Hi hope everyone is keeping as well as possible as we enter the next phase in the pandemic.

I was wondering how people coped with the antiviral medication either oral or IV and if they had any side effects. Is there a limit to how many times you can receive them ?

We have not needed any but almost feel it’s almost inevitable as we move forward despite being extremely careful and asking visitors to do a LF .

Thank you

Hi, I had a sotrovimab infusion to treat COVID in late December. I had a bit of a weird twitching feeling when the drip first started but no other side effects. I believe the treatment helped reduce the severity of my illness and I no longer had a fever after the IV.

They told me that the extra antibodies from the IV treatment last 90 days. They didn’t say anything to me about what happens if I get COVID again and I didn’t ask. This was the first time I caught the virus. I presume that if I test positive on PCR again, that will be a question I can ask the doctor.

Thank you for your reply that’s very reassuring. Glad you are feeling better.

We are certainly in a better place re treatment than we were this time last year .
