WHAT FUZEON IS AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR
WHAT FUZEON IS
Fuzeon contains the active substance enfuvirtide and belongs to a
group of medicines called
‘antiretrovirals’.

(HIV) - in combination with
other antiretroviral medicines in patients infected with HIV.
•
Your doctor has prescribed Fuzeon to help control your HIV infection.
•
Fuzeon is not a cure for HIV infection.
HOW FUZEON WORKS
HIV attacks cells in your blood called CD4 or T-cells. The virus needs

inside these cells in order for the virus to multiply. Fuzeon helps by
preventing this.
