COVID-19 Therapeutics Thresholds, Orders, and Replenishment

COVID-19 Oral Antivirals Transitioning to Commercial Marketplace

The federal government is transitioning COVID-19 oral antiviral treatments Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir packaged with ritonavir) and Lagevrio (molnupiravir) to the commercial market. To learn about upcoming milestones and timelines, see Sunsetting the U.S. Government COVID-19 Therapeutics Distribution Program.

See Important Dates

Ordering Paxlovid and Lagevrio

Paxlovid and Lagevrio are available for purchase via the commercial market as of November 1, 2023.  As part of the transition of COVID-19 therapeutics distribution to the commercial marketplace, ASPR has implemented the following protocols in accordance with its Sunsetting the U.S. Government COVID-19 Therapeutics Distribution Program:

  • Lagevrio ordering through the USG stopped on November 10, 2023.
  • Paxlovid orders through the USG will be accepted through December 15, 2023.

For more information about ordering, reporting, and using your supplies, please visit:

Federal Entities

Federal entities may continue to order Paxlovid from the U.S. government (USG) supply. Federal entities, excluding the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs, may continue to order Lagevrio until supply is depleted. Ordering occurs through Health Partner Ordering Portal (HPOP). 

State and Territory Officials

Jurisdictions and other partners should work with their providers/sites to deplete the USG supply in the field and replace inventory with commercial supply as needed.

Reporting Administration of Paxlovid and Lagevrio

The federal government tracks the amount of COVID-19 therapeutic products ordered and administered through the HPOP portal, monitoring product availability and administration of the USG-distributed products for each state or territory.

All disposal and returns of the USG-procured products need to be recorded in HPOP.

Returning Paxlovid

Through December 31, 2023, USG-distributed Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)-labeled Paxlovid with an expiration date of December 2023 or later is eligible to be returned for credit to the USG inventory. For each course of EUA-labeled Paxlovid with an expiration date of December 2023 or later that is returned, Pfizer will provide the USG with a credit as an NDA-labeled course for use in the USG Patient Assistance Program (USG PAP) operated by Pfizer and by federal entities.
