Paxlovid Linked to Reduced Risk of Long-Term Smell and Taste Loss in COVID-19 Patients
As COVID-19 guidelines shift, millions still face infection—and for some, lasting effects like the permanent loss of smell and taste. While most recover these senses, 15–25% do not, leading to a deeply impactful and often overlooked disability. New research shows that early use of Paxlovid—within the first week of diagnosis—may help prevent this long-term loss.
