Favipiravir is an antiviral drug used to treat influenza and other viral infections. It stops the virus from replicating in the body, helping to reduce symptoms and speed recovery. Favipiravir is commonly used to treat COVID-19 infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Hong Kong, especially in patients with mild to moderate symptoms. Patients should strictly follow the doctor's prescription when using Favipiravir, and follow the indicated dosage and frequency. Any adverse reactions should be closely monitored during use and the doctor should be informed promptly. Please do not adjust the dosage or stop taking the medicine by yourself to avoid affecting the efficacy or causing adverse consequences. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should consult your doctor immediately.
Instructions for use: Please use the drug under the guidance of a physician. It is usually recommended to take it twice daily, each time with food, to aid absorption. Avoid taking it with dairy products to avoid affecting absorption. Avoid drinking alcohol and engaging in activities that require a high level of concentration while taking this product.
Dosing Guidelines: The starting dose for adult patients is 1600 mg for the first dose, followed by 600 mg every 12 hours for 5 days. Your physician may adjust the dose if your condition warrants it. For children over 12 years of age, the same dosage as for adults is recommended. For children aged 2 to 11 years old, the dosage is based on weight, and your doctor will give specific guidance. Be sure to use the medication exactly as recommended by your doctor and do not adjust the dosage on your own.
FAVIPIRAVIR is an antiviral drug used to fight influenza and other viral infections. However, it has some common side effects, including dizziness, nausea, stomachache and diarrhea. Some patients may also experience symptoms such as rash, headache and fatigue. Rarely, serious side effects may occur, such as allergic reactions, liver function problems, or low platelets. If any of these serious side effects occur, you should stop taking the medication immediately and consult your doctor. Make a decision whether to continue using FAVIPIRAVIR after reviewing your doctor’s advice.
