WHAT PREZISTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT IS PREZISTA?
PREZISTA contains the active substance darunavir. PREZISTA is an
antiretroviral medicine used in
the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. It
belongs to a group of medicines
called protease inhibitors. PREZISTA works by reducing the amount of
HIV in your body. This will
improve your immune system and reduces the risk of developing
illnesses linked to HIV infection.
WHAT IT IS USED FOR?
PREZISTA is used to treat HIV infected adults as well as HIV infected
children of 3 years of age and
above, and at least 15 kilogram body weight (see HOW TO TAKE
PREZISTA).
PREZISTA must be taken in combination with a low dose of cobicistat or
ritonavir and other anti-HIV
medicines. Your doctor will discuss with you which combination of
medicines is best for you.
