Description
Anzavir R is a prescription medication containing a combination of Atazanavir and Ritonavir, two antiviral drugs used to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. Atazanavir and Ritonavir work by inhibiting the replication of the HIV virus, reducing the amount of virus in the body and improving the immune system response.
Uses:
Anzavir R is used in combination with other medications to treat HIV infection. It helps to lower the amount of HIV in the blood and slow down the progression of the disease.
How to use:
Take Anzavir R exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The recommended dose is usually one tablet taken once daily with food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
Storage conditions:

Mechanism of action:
Atazanavir and Ritonavir work by blocking the HIV protease enzyme, thereby preventing the replication of the virus and reducing the amount of HIV in the body. Ritonavir also increases the effectiveness of Atazanavir by inhibiting an enzyme that metabolizes Atazanavir, allowing it to remain active in the body for a more extended period.
