WHAT SYMTUZA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Symtuza is an antiretroviral medicine used to treat infection with
human immunodeficiency virus 1
(HIV-1). It is used in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older
who weigh at least 40 kg.
Symtuza contains four active substances:

darunavir, an anti-HIV medicine known as a protease inhibitor

cobicistat, a booster (enhancer) of darunavir

emtricitabine, an anti-HIV medicine known as a nucleoside reverse
transcriptase inhibitor

tenofovir alafenamide, an anti-HIV medicine known as a nucleotide
reverse transcriptase
inhibitor
Symtuza reduces HIV-1 in your body and this will improve your immune
system (your body’s natural
defences) and reduce the risk of developing illnesses linked to HIV
infection but Symtuza is not a cure
for HIV infection.
