HIV Drugs

Intelence 100 mg tablets contain etravirine, an antiretroviral medicine used to treat HIV-1 infection in adults and children with prior treatment experience. It is taken with other HIV medicines to reduce viral load, slow disease progression, and support immune system function. Not a cure when prescribed and monitored by doctors.

Tenvir is an anti-HIV medicine containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), manufactured by Cipla. It is used to treat HIV-1 infection in combination with other antiretroviral drugs and also for chronic hepatitis B. Tenvir helps reduce viral load and slow disease progression.

Cipla manufactures a wide range of antiretroviral (ARV) medicines used to treat HIV/AIDS, including:

• Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF)

• Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF)

• Lamivudine

• Abacavir

• Didanosine

• Efavirenz

• Nevirapine

• Dolutegravir

• Lopinavir/Ritonavir

• Atazanavir/Ritonavir

These drugs are supplied globally as single agents and fixed-dose combinations to support effective HIV treatment programs.

Nevirapine, Stavudine (d4T), and Lamivudine (3TC) are often combined into a single fixed-dose antiretroviral (ARV) tablet (e.g., Triomune, Nevilast), a key treatment for HIV/AIDS, working by stopping HIV from multiplying by inhibiting reverse transcriptase, reducing viral load, and boosting the immune system (CD4 cells). This three-drug combo, including Stavudine (NRTI), Lamivudine (NRTI), and Nevirapine (NNRTI), helps improve adherence by simplifying complex regimens, but like all ARVs, must be used under strict medical guidance due to potential side effects like rash, headache, nausea, and sleep issues. 

Dolutegravir 50 mg tablets are a prescription-only antiretroviral medication (brand name Tivicay) used with other drugs to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection by preventing the virus from multiplying in the body.

Didanosine delayed-release capsules are an antiretroviral medication used in combination with other drugs to treat HIV-1 infection. The delayed-release, or enteric-coated (EC), formulation ensures the medication is absorbed in the intestine, which helps protect it from stomach acid and may minimize gastrointestinal side effects.

Didanosine Videx EC 200mg capsule is a prescription antiretroviral medication used in combination with other drugs to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. It works as a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) to slow the virus's ability to reproduce in the body, which helps delay the development of AIDS-related problems.

Isentress raltegravir 400 mg tablets are an antiretroviral medication used in combination with other anti-HIV drugs to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection. It works by blocking the virus from multiplying, helping to reduce the viral load and improve immune system function.

Darunavir 600 mg tablets are an antiretroviral medication used in combination with other drugs to treat HIV infection. These tablets must be co-administered with a low dose of ritonavir or cobicistat to enhance darunavir's effectiveness.

Trizivir is a prescription-only, fixed-dose combination antiretroviral medication used to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection in adults and adolescents weighing at least 40 kg. It contains three active ingredients that work by slowing the virus's ability to copy itself in the body.

Dolutegravir 50 mg tablets are an antiretroviral medication used in combination with other drugs to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection in adults and children weighing at least 20 kg. It is a key part of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART). 

Atazanavir 300 mg capsules are an antiretroviral medication used in combination with other anti-HIV drugs to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection. It helps to reduce the amount of HIV in the blood, which slows the progression of the disease and the risk of developing AIDS-related illnesses.

Efavirenz capsules IP are an antiretroviral medication used in combination with other anti-HIV drugs to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. "IP" stands for Indian Pharmacopoeia, meaning the drug formulation meets the standards set by this regulatory body.

Mylan (now part of Viatris) is a leading global supplier of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, providing treatment for nearly half of the patients in the developing world. Their portfolio includes single-drug and fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablets that inhibit viral replication and boost immune function.

Ritonavir tablets are primarily used in combination with other medications for the treatment of HIV infection, where it acts as a "booster" to enhance the effectiveness of other antiretrovirals. It is also used in combination with nirmatrelvir to treat mild to moderate COVID-19 in high-risk patients.

Trustiva is a fixed-dose combination (FDC) antiretroviral medication primarily used to manage HIV-1 infection in adults and adolescents over 12 years of age. It combines three active ingredients—Efavirenz (600mg), Emtricitabine (200mg), and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (300mg)—to suppress the replication of the virus, strengthen the immune system (by increasing CD4 cell counts), and reduce the risk of HIV-related complications.

Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF) tablets are a prescription antiviral medication used to treat chronic hepatitis B (HBV) and, in combination with other drugs, HIV-1 infection. It works by inhibiting the multiplication of the virus in human cells to reduce the viral load and prevent associated liver damage.

Efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir tablets are combination antiretroviral medicines used to treat HIV-1 infection. They work by preventing viral replication, lowering viral load, and improving immune function. The medicine is taken as prescribed, usually once daily, and helps control HIV but does not cure it.

Nevirapine Tablets IP 200 mg are an antiretroviral medication used as part of combination therapy to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. The "IP" in the name indicates that the drug meets the standards of the Indian Pharmacopoeia. 

Abacavir 300 mg tablets are antiretroviral medicines used to treat HIV-1 infection in combination with other HIV drugs. They reduce viral replication, lower viral load, and help improve immune function. Patients should be screened for HLA-B*5701 due to risk of serious hypersensitivity reactions.

Didanosine 400 mg capsules are antiretroviral medicines used to treat HIV infection in combination with other HIV drugs. They reduce viral replication, slow disease progression, and help improve immune function. Didanosine is not a cure and must be taken exactly as prescribed.

Indinavir 400 mg capsules are an antiretroviral medication used in combination with other anti-HIV drugs to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection by blocking the virus's ability to multiply in the body. This medication does not cure HIV or prevent its transmission.

Daclatasvir (60 mg) Tablet is an antiviral medicine used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. It is taken in combination with other antivirals (such as sofosbuvir) to stop viral replication, reduce viral load, and help achieve a sustained virologic response (cure) as prescribed by a doctor.
