Dysgeusia, on the other hand, is a common Paxlovid adverse effect.Dysgeusia is known as "Paxlovid mouth" since it affects less than 6% of the population. The drug's brand name is Paxlovid. It consists of two drugs: nirmatrelvir and ritonavir.Nirmatrelvir is the primary antiviral medicine used to treat COVID-19, and it is combined with ritonavir to prevent nirmatrelvir from being broken down too quickly, allowing it to stay active in the body for longer.When used alone or in combination with other drugs, ritonavir has a bitter taste and induces dysgeusia. Despite the lack of research into the mechanism, ritonavir could be the cause of Paxlovid mouth.
