Factsheet: COVID-19 Treatments and Medications

Factsheet details current COVID-19 treatments and medications. The factsheet explains that most people with COVID-19 will have mild illness and can recover at home with over-the-counter medication. However, for people who are more likely to get very sick (such as older adults), there are antiviral treatments available that can reduce their chances of being hospitalized or dying. The factsheet highlights that all antiviral treatments must be started within 5-7 days of when you first develop symptoms. You can access the factsheet at COVID-19 Treatments and Medications | CDC.
