Pfizer Pill for COVID Could Be Ready by End of Year, CEO Says

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Pfizer pill to treat COVID symptoms could be ready by year’s end, CEO says.


An oral drug like the one Pfizer is developing could be taken at home and might keep people out of the hospital.

“Particular attention is on the oral because it provides several advantages,” Bourla said. “One of them is that you don’t need to go to the hospital to get the treatment, which is the case with all the injectables so far. You could get it at home, and that could be a game-changer.”

The drug might be effective against the emerging variants, he said. Pfizer is also working on an injectable anti-viral drug.
