COVID-19 Pill FAQs

  • When will I be eligible for the Paxlovid COVID pill in Alaska?

    According to the FDA, the COVID pill is solely for persons who have previously been infected with COVID-19. If you test positive for COVID, you'll need to see a doctor or another licensed healthcare professional to get a prescription for the medication.

  • What is the COVID pill treatment? (Paxlovid and molnupiravir)

    The COVID pill therapy, according to the FDA, is an oral antibody medication designed to lower the likelihood of severe COVID symptoms. The pills, like any other prescription drug, can be taken at home. Paxlovid is a five-day treatment that consists of three pills administered twice a day. Four pills are given every 12 hours for five days as part of the Molnupiravir treatment.

  • How does the Paxlovid COVID pill treatment work?

    According to FDA officials, the two drugs act in different ways. Paxlovid prevents the virus from producing an enzyme required for replication. Molnupiravir causes the virus to mutate and become ineffective as it replicates.

  • How long does the COVID pill treatment last?

    According to FDA recommendations, both Paxlovid and molnupiravir can be used for five days.

  • Will the COVID pill be covered by my insurance?

    COVID pill treatments are provided free of charge by the US government. If you have health insurance, your doctor's office or drugstore may charge an administrative fee to your insurance company.

  • What pharmacies are administering the COVID pill?

    The pharmacies that will be dispensing the COVID pill will differ from state to state. Initially, supplies are expected to be limited until manufacturers can ramp up production. Your doctor will be able to advise you on where to get your prescription filled.

  • Do I need to be a US resident to receive the COVID pill?

    To obtain the COVID pill, you do not need to be a US resident as long as you complete the other requirements (as outlined by the FDA). The Pfizer COVID tablet is licensed for anyone aged 12 and up who are at high risk of being admitted to the hospital. Only high-risk adults are eligible for the Merck pill.

  • Will I be able to receive the COVID pill if I've already contracted COVID-19?

    The COVID pill is only for persons who have been diagnosed with COVID-19. According to FDA guidelines, treatment must begin within five days after the onset of symptoms.

  • How many doses of the COVID pill will I need?

    The FDA recommends that both medications be taken for five days, but the doses are different. Three pills twice a day, for a total of 30 pills, is Paxlovid. Molnupiravir is taken in the form of four pills twice a day for a total of forty pills.

  • Where can I get a COVID pill treatment in Alaska?

    Make an appointment with a doctor right once to be tested for COVID if you are experiencing COVID symptoms. If you test positive for HIV and are at high risk of being admitted to the hospital, your doctor can prescribe a COVID pill and tell you where to get it. Some pharmacies may be able to deliver a fast COVID test as well as the medication in the same visit. Find a COVID testing provider near you in <state> in our directory.
