WHAT ATAZANAVIR KRKA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
ATAZANAVIR KRKA 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 Krka reduces the risk
of developing illnesses linked to HIV infection.
Atazanavir Krka capsules may be used by adults and children 6 years of
age and older. Your doctor
has prescribed Atazanavir Krka 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
Krka is best for you.
