Is it just me, or do GPs need a COVID-19 antivirals survival kit?

Dr Pam Rachootin.

During the Easter break, I worked half a day to figure out how to refer a newly diagnosed COVID-19 patient with a haematological malignancy for treatment with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid).

I also arranged a COVID-19 monitoring kit and daily follow-up from state Department of Health nurses.

It was my maiden journey down these paths, and oh my goodness, what a trip!

The first time I figured out how to prescribe molnupiravir (Lagevrio) — while under time pressure â€” was another major milestone for me.
