Description

Daruvir 600 mg Tablet contains Darunavir, an antiretroviral protease inhibitor used in the treatment of HIV-1 infection. It helps reduce viral load, improve immune function, and prevent HIV-related complications when used as part of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Benefits

  • Reduces HIV viral load

  • Helps increase CD4 (immune) cell count

  • Slows progression of HIV infection

  • Effective against many resistant HIV strains

  • Proven long-term HIV treatment option

Indications and Usage

Daruvir 600 mg Tablet is indicated for:

  • HIV-1 infection in adults and adolescents

  • Treatment-experienced or treatment-naïve patients (as prescribed)

  • Use in combination ART regimens with other antiretroviral medicines

This medicine does not cure HIV but helps manage it effectively.

How it Works

Darunavir inhibits the HIV protease enzyme, which is essential for the virus to produce mature, infectious particles. By blocking this enzyme, Daruvir prevents HIV from multiplying and spreading in the body.
