Product Overview
About Ritonavir Viatris (previously Ritonavir Mylan)
Ritonavir Viatris can only be obtained with a prescription and treatment should be given by a doctor who has experience in the treatment of HIV infection. It is available as tablets and should be taken with food.
What it is used for
Ritonavir Viatris can be used as a ‘pharmacokinetic enhancer’ (booster) to increase the blood levels of other antiviral medicines that belong to the same group (known as protease inhibitors); it can also be used in larger doses for a direct antiviral effect on HIV.
How it is used
For more information about using Ritonavir Viatris, see the package leaflet or contact your doctor or pharmacist.
How it works
As a ‘booster’, the active substance ritonavir slows the breakdown of other protease inhibitor antivirals. This increases the levels of these protease inhibitors in the blood and enhances their antiviral effect. At higher antiviral doses, it blocks a viral enzyme called protease, which is involved in the replication of HIV. When the enzyme is blocked, the virus can no longer replicate normally, slowing down the spread of infection.
