1.
WHAT REYATAZ IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
REYATAZ 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
REYATAZ reduces the risk of
developing illnesses linked to HIV infection.
REYATAZ capsules may be used by adults and children 6 years of age and
older. Your doctor has
prescribed REYATAZ 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 REYATAZ
is best for you.
