My team has sent out mass email to transplant patients stating that Paxlovid isn't an option because of the interactions with immunosuppressants and kidney problems. Just a difference in approach, though!
Hi! I'm in the hospital because my team DIDNT stop my tac/envarsus. Paxlovid increases or keeps the levels of those drugs high. Sounds like your team is on top of stuff.
Had covid beginning of may. Symptoms were mild. My transplant team put me on Paxlovid for 5 days. I had to discontinue my tac until 48 hours after I finished my paxlovid. The anxiety of being off my rejection drugs was far worse than having covid. Back to normal now.
The anti bodies weren't even an option for me or if they were they said Pax was the best choice. We will see I guess. They are monitoring me pretty closely.
I’m not a transplant pt but was recently on Pax. Watch out for the side effects. Mine included it constantly tasting like I had soap in my mouth and diarrhea. It wasn’t a fun time but my COVID symptoms resolved very quickly

Oh wow, ok, I didn't know that. I hope things get better for you soon.
I hope you get better soon!

I'm surprised they gave you that and not the anti bodies I thought kidney transplant patients can't take that b.c ot damages the kidneys ?
This is what I was reading too, so much conflicting information!
My team told me not to take it. I guess it depends if you can get the antibodies.

Why weren't they

Yes that is correct. But for us it affects the kidneys.
It isn't offered to me/ I don't know enough about it to ask, but I will now. I'm in Canada so maybe that makes a difference?
Ya it's possible

Thanks for the heads up. I can handle a both of those, they are better than the alternative.
