WHAT ATAZANAVIR MYLAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
ATAZANAVIR MYLAN
IS AN ANTIVIRAL (OR ANTIRETROVIRAL) MEDICINE
. It is one of a group called protease
inhibitors. These medicines control Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
infection by stopping a protein
that the 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 Mylan
reduces the risk of developing illnesses
linked to HIV infection.
Atazanavir Mylan capsules may be used by adults and children 6 years
of age and older. Your doctor has
prescribed Atazanavir Mylan for you because you are infected by the
HIV that causes Acquired
Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). It is normally used in combination
with other anti-HIV medicines.
Your doctor will discuss with you which combination of these medicines
with Atazanavir Mylan is best for
you.
