Activity Overview

Two oral antiviral medications, nirmatrelvir with ritonavir and molnupiravir, were recently authorized for emergency use to treat certain non-hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19. Join us for this one-hour activity to learn about the clinical trial data supporting the emergency-use authorizations of these antivirals. Speakers will also discuss the clinical considerations of each therapy, including precautions and contraindications, and how these antivirals fit into outpatient COVID-19 treatment regimens.

This activity was presented as a live webinar. Learners who claimed ACPE credit for these activities as part of that meeting should not claim ACPE credit again.

 

The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education.

This activity was planned to meet the educational needs of pharmacists seeking information on clinical use of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir and molnupiravir for COVID-19 treatment.

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe the use of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir and molnupiravir in the treatment of COVID-19.
  • Describe contraindications and precautions of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir and molnupiravir therapy for COVID-19.
