2:29Now PlayingPfizer Inc.’s Covid-19 pill gained clearance for emergency use in the U.S., delivering a more convenient treatment option for at-risk patients at a critical point in the pandemic.
The drug, called Paxlovid, is the first at-home therapy for Covid-19 to win clearance from the Food and Drug Administration. It is expected to become a potent weapon in battling the virus once production gears up, giving people at high risk of severe complications from the disease a way to avoid winding up in the hospital.
“This authorization provides a new tool to combat Covid-19 at a crucial time in the pandemic as new variants emerge,” said Patrizia Cavazzoni, director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, in a statement on Wednesday.
