WHAT EVOTAZ IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
EVOTAZ contains two active substances:

ATAZANAVIR, AN ANTIVIRAL (OR ANTIRETROVIRAL) MEDICINE.
It is one of a group called
_protease _
_inhibitors_
. These medicines control human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
by stopping
production of a protein that HIV needs for its multiplication. They
work by reducing the amount
of HIV in your body and this in turn, strengthens your immune system.
In this way atazanavir
reduces the risk of developing illnesses linked to HIV infection.

COBICISTAT, A BOOSTER (PHARMACOKINETIC ENHANCER) TO HELP IMPROVE THE
EFFECTS OF ATAZANAVIR
.
Cobicistat, does not directly treat your HIV, but boosts the levels of
atazanavir in the blood. It
does this by slowing down the breakdown of atazanavir which will make
it stay in the body for
longer.
EVOTAZ may be used by adults and adolescents (aged 12 years and older
weighing at least 35 kg),
who are infected with HIV, the virus that causes acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is
used in combination with other anti-HIV medicines to help control your
HIV infection. Your doctor
will discuss wi

be taken and the patient should
resume the usual dosing schedule.
Special populations

_Renal impairment _
Based on the very limited renal elimination of cobicistat and
atazanavir, no special precautions or dose
adjustments of EVOTAZ are required for patients with renal impairment.
EVOTAZ is not recommended for patients undergoing haemodialysis (see
sections 4.4 and 5.2).
Cobicistat has been shown to decrease estimated creatinine clearance
due to inhibition of tubular
secretion of creatinine without affecting actual renal glomerular
function. EVOTAZ should not be
