Fivid Tablet is best taken in mildly infected individuals than in those who have severe Covid-19 infection. This is because early use of antiviral medicines, such as Fivid Tablet, is seen to be more effective in treating Covid-19 infection. Delay in treatment only slows down the recovery process and worsens the existing symptoms such as breathing issues, cough, or fever. If left untreated, this viral infection may even lead to organ failure. Once tested positive for Covid-19, consult your doctor immediately.
