Hi, i took Paxlovid covid medicine 5 hours apart, 5pm-10pm should I be worried?

Hi, how are you doing?

Do you mean you took the morning dose at 5pm and then the evening dose at 10pm?

You do not need to be worried but this is not the most effective way for this treatment.

It should be taken 12 hours apart e.g., morning dose at 10am and the evening dose at 10pm.

It would be recommended to take your next morning dose at 10am tomorrow morning and then every 12 hours from that dose.
