Staying healthy is of utmost importance during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Our team at Urgent Care + TeleHealth clinics in Napa, Sonoma and Benicia is proud to offer effective COVID-19 treatments. 

This new service allows us to treat you if you receive a positive Covid test result either from an at-home test kit or from a test processed at one of our clinics. Early treatment for a COVID-19 infection could shorten the duration of your illness, reduce the severity of your symptoms and help your body clear the virus in less time.

Starting treatment increases the chances that your illness will be mild and short. Taking a COVID-19 treatment may also help your body get rid of the virus faster so that you test negative sooner.
– Dr. Ian Ahwah, Emergency Medicine Physician

What Treatments Are Available for People Infected With COVID?

Paxlovid, is an antiviral which is available in both clinic. Paxlovid is also under emergency use authorization for people ages 12 and older with mild to moderate symptoms and who are at a high risk of complications from COVID-19. Pfizer, which is one of the COVID vaccine manufacturers, produces Paxlovid.

When Should COVID-19 Treatments Be Started?

If you’re at risk of becoming seriously ill from a COVID-19 infection, you should start a COVID-19 treatment as soon as possible. As soon as you have a positive test result, you should start taking a COVID-19 treatment. Waiting until you’re very sick could make COVID-19 treatment drugs less effective at preventing complications.

How Are COVID-19 Treatments Administered?

Paxlovid is an oral medication. You should start it within 2-3 days of a positive Covid test or 5 days after developing COVID-19 symptoms.

What Ages Are Appropriate for COVID-19 Treatments?

Paxlovid is authorized for use in children ages 12 and over and in adults. 

What Should I Do If I Think I Have COVID-19?

If you think you have COVID-19, the first thing to do is take an at-home Covid test. You can get free at-home test kits sent to you by the federal government. 

If you get a positive result on your at-home test kit or suspect a false negative result, we recommend a rapid Covid test here at one of our clinics. A NAAT/PCR test looks for the virus’s genetic material in your mucus and saliva and is more accurate than an at-home antigen test kit. We offer rapid NAAT/PCR testing at Urgent Care + TeleHealth by appointment and for walk-in patients.

When you have a positive NAAT/PCR test for COVID-19, we may recommend starting one of the available treatments. Starting treatment increases the chances that your illness will be mild and short. Taking a COVID-19 treatment may also help your body get rid of the virus faster so that you test negative sooner. Many workplaces and travel destinations require a negative test result to show that you can’t spread the illness to anyone else.
