WHAT TIVICAY IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Tivicay contains the active ingredient dolutegravir. Dolutegravir
belongs to a group of anti-retroviral
medicines called
_integrase inhibitors (INIs)_
.
Tivicay is used to treat HIV (HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS) INFECTION
in adults, adolescents and children
of at least 6 years of age or older, and who weigh at least 14 kg.
Tivicay does not cure HIV infection; it reduces the amount of virus in
your body, and keeps it at a low level.
As a result of that, it also increases the CD4 cell count in your
blood. CD4 cells are a type of white blood
cells that are important in helping your body to fight infection.
Not everyone responds to treatment with Tivicay in the same way. Your
doctor will monitor the effectiveness
of your treatment.
Tivicay is always used in combination with other anti-retroviral
medicines (
_combination therapy_
).
To control your HIV infection, and to stop your illness from getting
worse, you must keep taking all your
medicines, un
