Darunavir/Ritonavir (400/50 mg) – Darunavir/Ritonavir is a protease inhibitor–based antiretroviral combination used for the effective treatment of HIV-1 infection.
This medication pairs Darunavir, a potent protease inhibitor, with a low dose of Ritonavir, which acts as a pharmacokinetic booster to enhance Darunavir’s levels and effectiveness. Together, they work to suppress HIV replication and support immune recovery.
Darunavir/Ritonavir provides proven efficacy and durability, making it an important option for individuals starting therapy as well as those requiring a switch from other regimens.
