WHAT REZOLSTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT IS REZOLSTA?
REZOLSTA contains the active substances darunavir and cobicistat.
Darunavir belongs to a group of HIV medicines called ‘protease
inhibitors’ which work by reducing
the amount of HIV in your body to a very low level. It is given with
cobicistat, which increases the
amount of darunavir in your blood.
Treatment with REZOLSTA will improve your immune system (your body’s
natural defences) and
reduce the risk of developing illnesses linked to HIV infection, but
REZOLSTA is not a cure for HIV
infection.
WHAT IT IS USED FOR?
REZOLSTA is used to treat adults and adolescents aged 12 years and
older who weigh at least
40 kilograms and who are infected by HIV (see How to take REZOLSTA).
REZOLSTA must be taken in combination with other HIV medicines. Your
doctor will discuss with
you which combination of medicines is best for you.

DO NOT TAKE REZOLSTA

ingredients of this medicine (listed
