 Mechanism of Action (MOA) of Paxista

• Nirmatrelvir inhibits the main protease enzyme (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2
• The virus’s capability to multiply inside the human body is blocked as a result of this action
• Ritonavir prevents Nirmatrelvir from being metabolized, hence increasing its plasma concentration
• They keep the concentration of the drug at a level that can effectively suppress the viral infection by working together
• This process, in turn, results in the virus’ lessened presence in the body and leads to quicker symptom resolution.
