Atazor-R 300mg/100mg Tablet
Atazor-R 300mg/100mg Tablet is a combination of two antiretroviral medications: Atazanavir and Ritonavir, prescribed for the treatment of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection. It helps in managing HIV and preventing the progression to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) by boosting the immune system, reducing the viral load, and preventing complications related to HIV.
Key Ingredients:
- Atazanavir (300mg): A protease inhibitor that works by blocking the enzyme protease, which HIV needs to replicate and spread. This helps to lower the amount of HIV in the body (viral load).
- Ritonavir (100mg): Another protease inhibitor that enhances the effectiveness of Atazanavir by inhibiting its metabolism. This combination increases the levels of Atazanavir in the bloodstream, ensuring better viral suppression.
How Atazor-R Tablet Works:
- Atazanavir blocks HIV protease, preventing the virus from multiplying and spreading.
- Ritonavir works as a boosting agent, increasing the concentration of Atazanavir in the blood, thus improving its antiviral activity.
Together, these medications reduce HIV replication, support the immune system, and prevent the progression of the infection.
Uses:
- HIV infection: Atazor-R is primarily used to reduce the viral load in the body of HIV-infected individuals. It helps improve immune function, reduces the chances of developing complications, and improves the lifespan and quality of life of those living with HIV.
Benefits of Atazor-R Tablet:
- Control HIV infection: Atazor-R helps manage HIV, suppressing the virus and reducing its impact on the immune system.
