Am I eligible for treatment?
There are two types of treatment for people with mild to moderate COVID-19:
Oral antiviral pills: These pills — taken daily for five days — help stop the virus from replicating. This reduces the amount of virus in your body. The FDA has authorized two pills to treat COVID-19 — paxlovid and molnupiravir.
Monoclonal antibodies: Monoclonal antibody treatment is only available for people who have tested positive for COVID-19 and have symptoms like fever, cough, trouble breathing, loss of taste or smell, body aches, or headache.
To see if you qualify, use the link below to access the screening tool and simply answer a few questions.
