Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir treatment in SARS-CoV-2 positive kidney transplant recipients - a case series with four patients.

Based on altered CYP3A4 metabolism, tacrolimus levels have to be closely monitored after treatment with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir. Our study suggests that tacrolimus treatment should be paused during nirmatrelvir/ritonavir medication and be continued 24 h after completing nirmatrelvir/ritonavir therapy at a reduced dose and under close monitoring. Based on the limited number of patients in this study, results must be interpreted with caution.
