Japanese regulatory authorities have approved a shelf-life extension for Pfizer’s oral COVID-19 treatment Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir) from 18 months to 24 months

The shelf-life of the drug was originally 12 months upon its special approval in February 2022. It was extended to 18 months in September last year based on stability testing data, and thanks to additional data, it was further extended to 24 months, effective February 10.
