General information about COVID-19 antivirals treatments
Consultations can be requested using the links below based on the state of residence:
Paxlovid or Molnupiravir are intended for those with mild to moderate COVID-19 who are at high-risk for progression to severe COVID-19, and who are within 5 days of symptom onset. Molnupiravir is only for patients for whom other COVID-19 treatment options approved or authorized by the FDA are not accessible or clinically appropriate. Learn more about Paxlovid on the manufacturer’s website, and review the patient and healthcare provider fact sheets for more information. Learn more about Molnupiravir on the manufacturer’s website, and review the patient and healthcare provider factsheets.
People that have been exposed to someone diagnosed to COVID-19, or if it is unknown if they have been exposed to someone diagnosed with COVID-19, they may be eligible for a consult. Pregnant individuals will also be eligible for a consultation if they reside in Massachusetts, Washington, Oregon or Wisconsin.
A virtual visit for COVID-19 antiviral treatment is available to adults and children 12 years and older.
A parent or guardian is required to register someone aged 12 to 18 years old. A parent/guardian must create an account and add a dependent. A parent/guardian can then request a visit for their dependent. If the visit is for your child or adult dependent, you’ll both need to be present to see the clinician. Eligibility may also be restricted depending on your Color program sponsor’s terms. Eligibility through Color’s partnerships with Massachusetts, Washington, Oregon and Wisconsin is limited to persons who are currently located in those states, and pharmacy products are only shipped to valid addresses in Massachusetts, Washington, Oregon and Wisconsin.
Clinicians will be evaluating whether a patient should be given a prescription for the COVID-19 antiviral treatments Paxlovid or Molnupiravir. If you are interested in other treatment options for COVID-19, please seek care from your healthcare provider.
Paxlovid has not been approved, but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA under an EUA, for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg) with positive results of direct SARS CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high-risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death.
If Paxlovid is appropriate, treatment should be initiated as soon as possible after COVID-19 diagnosis and within 5 days of symptom onset. Paxlovid is not for people that have a history of allergy to nirmatrelvir or ritonavir or other components of these drugs, and it is not for people taking certain other drugs. Paxlovid may cause side effects, some of which may be serious and unexpected. Learn more about Paxlovid on the manufacturer’s website, at https://www.covid19oralrx-patient.com, and review the patient and healthcare provider fact sheets for more information.
The emergency use of Paxlovid is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of drugs and biological products during the COVID-19 pandemic under Section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb3(b)(1), unless the declaration is terminated or authorization revoked sooner.

Molnupiravir isn’t authorized for use in people less than 18 years of age, for prevention of COVID-19, for people needing hospitalization for COVID-19, or for use for longer than 5 consecutive days. Molnupiravir isn’t recommended for use in pregnancy as it may cause harm to an unborn baby. Molnupiravir may cause side effects, some of which may be serious and unexpected. Learn more about Molnupiravir on the manufacturer’s website and review the patient and healthcare provider fact sheets for more information.
The emergency use of Molnupiravir is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of drugs and biological products during the COVID-19 pandemic under Section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb3(b)(1), unless the declaration is terminated or authorization revoked sooner.
