REATIX KIT TABLET

Introduction:

Antiviral drugs are beneficial in postponing the complications related to AIDS and improving the overall quality of life. This combination regimen is prescribed to prevent replication of HIV to a maximum extent for as long as possible. Although this drug regimen reduces the risk of viral infection to a great extent, this is not a cure for HIV, and there is still a possibility of transmitting HIV to other people. 

This regimen is a combination of Atazanavir 300mg, Emtricitabine 200mg, Ritonavir 100mg and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg. Consult your physician before starting this regimen if you are taking other antiviral medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamin or herbal supplements before the treatment.

Uses of Reatix Kit Tablet:

• The treatment regimen for adults and children with Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection.
• To reduce the risk of acquiring HIV infection in people weighing more than 35kgs.

How Reatix Kit Tablet works:

The reverse transcriptase enzyme is responsible for producing copies of DNA from the HIV’s RNA. This regimen interferes with the reverse transcriptase enzyme and protease enzyme functioning, ultimately blocking the replication and reproduction of the virus.

Interaction with other drugs:

Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking or have taken before the treatment.

More Information:

Store below 30˚C, away from the sight and reach of children.
