Question

I took the morning dose of Paxlovid in the evening.

I accidentally took the morning dose of Paxlovid in the evening. Is that a problem?

Hi, how are you doing?

Did you not take the morning dose? and instead you only had Paxlovid in the evening?

As with most medication, this is likely to be fine. Continue taking your medication when you were originally meant to.

If you notice any side effects/unexpected symptoms please speak to a pharmacist/doctor.

Also, are you HIV positive? This Q&A information service is only for people living with HIV.

Hi Lucy, you can start with the evening dose. This just means you will end your course with a morning dose rather than an evening. This will not effect how the treatment works.

Hi Jack, yes the medication will still work. The morning and evening doses are the same. As long as you took a dose in the morning and the evening, it does not matter what time the medication was assigned.

Hi Randy, yes you can start Paxlovid in the evening. You can start with the evening dose that has been prescribed. There should be 3 tablets for the evening and 3 for the morning.
