COVID pills 'sold out everywhere' in Snohomish County, patients say
EVERETT — When Mark Hegeberg caught COVID-19 this week, a doctor prescribed Paxlovid. Hegeberg went to pick up the medication, but it was out of stock at his usual Rite Aid in Mill Creek.
He called around to dozens of local pharmacies.
“It’s sold out everywhere,” Hegeberg, 67, wrote in an email Monday.
Doctors often prescribe the Pfizer-made antiviral pill to treat moderate to severe COVID cases. It’s a combination of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir — nirmatrelvir stops the virus from spreading, while ritonavir keeps nirmatrelvir active in the body long enough for it to work.
