COVID-19 Treatment
If you have COVID-19, there are a variety of treatments that can prevent you from getting really sick. These medications require a doctor’s prescription and should be started as soon as possible. Notify your doctor if you have COVID-19. Your doctor can help you determine whether COVID-19 therapy is right for you.

Oral antiviral treatments
These medications target specific parts of the COVID-19 virus and can help reduce its multiplication and spread through the body. The FDA has authorized several oral antiviral medications for patients who have mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and are not in the hospital.
To be eligible for these prescription drugs you must have tested positive for COVID-19 and meet age and weight requirements.
If you are interested in any of these treatments consult your doctor about what is best for you.
Therapeutics Locator
The U.S Department of Health and Human Services has a therapeutics locator tool which displays locations around the state where antiviral treatments are available with a physician’s prescription. The therapeutics locator is intended for provider use. Patients should not contact locations directly unless instructed to do so by their healthcare provider.
