Understanding COVID-19

COVID-19, or Coronavirus Disease 2019, is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. While many cases can be managed at home with rest and over-the-counter medications, some individuals may require more intensive treatment.

Antiviral Treatment in Australia

In Australia, antiviral medications can be used to treat COVID-19 in certain cases. These medications are available under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), which provides subsidised access to essential medicines.

Eligibility Criteria
  • Eligiblity for PBS subsidised antivirals varies over time and is very prescriptive, so please discuss with one of our doctors to confirm your eligibility. The general guidelines are:
    - Over age 70
    - Over Age 50 with 2 underlying health conditions, such as diabetes, asthma, or certain heart conditions.
    - Over age 18 with specific immune compromising conditions or medications.

Seeking Medical Advice

If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or believe you may be eligible for antiviral treatment, it's crucial to seek medical advice. Teldoc Australia can provide convenient and accessible care.

Our telehealth doctors can assess your symptoms, determine if you meet the eligibility criteria for antiviral treatment, and recommend appropriate course of action.
