WHAT VITEKTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Vitekta contains the active substance elvitegravir.
Vitekta is a TREATMENT FOR HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS (HIV)
INFECTION in adults aged 18 years
and over.
VITEKTA MUST ALWAYS BE TAKEN WITH CERTAIN OTHER HIV MEDICINES. See
section 3,
_How to take _
_Vitekta_
.
The HIV virus produces an enzyme called HIV integrase. This enzyme
helps the virus to multiply in
the cells in your body. Vitekta stops this enzyme working and reduces
the amount of HIV in your
body. This will improve your immune system and reduce the risk of
developing illnesses linked to
HIV infection.
This medicine is not a cure for HIV infection. While taking Vitekta
you may still develop infections
or other illnesses associated with HIV infection.
