COVID-19
In this chapter, you will find treatment algorithms for the treatment of COVID-19 depending on the severity and the patient population. We have also provided tools to check and manage drug interactions with a variety of COVID-19 treatment options.

Tools
BC COVID Therapeutics Committee Interaction Resource
| Purpose | Determine if interactions are present with patients’ current medications and prescribed COVID-19 therapy. |
| Type of Resource | Interaction Checker |
| Included | List of medications and potential interactions with Paxlovid (i.e., Nirmatrelvir/ Ritonavir) |
| Student Bottom Line | When patients are starting on Paxlovid for the treatment of COVID-19, use this tool to determine if interactions are present.
*Ensure to cross reference with another interaction checker |
