WHAT TELZIR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
TELZIR IS USED TO TREAT HIV (HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS) INFECTION.
Telzir is a type of medicine known as an anti-retroviral. It is taken
with low doses of another
medicine, ritonavir, which boosts the level of Telzir in the blood.
Telzir belongs to a group of
anti-retroviral medicines called
_protease inhibitors_
. Protease is an enzyme produced by HIV which
enables the virus to multiply in white blood cells
_(CD4 cells)_
in your blood. By stopping protease
from working, Telzir stops HIV multiplying and infecting more CD4
cells.
Telzir with low doses of ritonavir is used in combination with other
anti-retroviral medicines
(‘combination therapy’) to treat adults, adolescents and children
aged over 6 years infected with
HIV.
HIV can become resistant to anti-HIV medicines. To avoid this
happening, and to stop your illness
getting worse, it is very important that you keep taking all your
medicines exactly as prescribed.
Telzir will not stop you passing on HIV. HIV infection is spread by
sexual contact with someone
who’s got the infection, or by transfer of infected blood (for
example by
