WHAT CELSENTRI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
CELSENTRI contains a medicine called maraviroc. Maraviroc belongs to a
group of medicines
called
_CCR5 antagonists_
. CELSENTRI works by blocking a receptor called CCR5 which HIV uses
to enter and infect your blood cells.
CELSENTRI IS USED TO TREAT HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS TYPE-1 (HIV-1)
IN ADULTS,
ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN OF 2 YEARS AND OLDER, AND WEIGHING AT LEAST
10 KG.
CELSENTRI must be taken in combination with other medicines which are
also used to treat the
HIV infection. These medicines are all called
_anti-HIV medicines _
or
_ antiretrovirals_
.
CELSENTRI, as part of combination therapy, reduces the amount of virus
in your body, and keeps
it at a low level. This helps your body to increase the CD4 cell count
in your blood. CD4 cells are a
type of white blood cell that are important in helping your body to
fight infection.
