How REYATAZ Can Help

REYATAZ is an HIV medication available by prescription. It is in a class of HIV medications called protease inhibitors. Protease inhibitors are a kind of HIV medication that fight HIV in the body by preventing the virus from multiplying.

Once-daily REYATAZ has been demonstrated effective in managing HIV. As part of an HIV therapy regimen, once-daily REYATAZ:

• Is taken once daily.
• Can help raise your CD4+ cell (or T-cell) count. CD4+ cells are an important part of your immune system. The more CD4+ cells you have, the stronger your immune system.
• Can help lower your viral load to undetectable levels.* That means REYATAZ can lower the amount of HIV in your blood until it cannot be measured by current tools.
• Has a low chance of diarrhea (as shown in clinical trials).†

People who have taken HIV medications previously or who are receiving certain other medications may take REYATAZ with ritonavir once daily as part of their HIV combination therapy.

REYATAZ does not cure HIV or help prevent passing HIV to others.

* "Undetectable" is defined as a viral load that is too low to be picked up by a particular test. Typically, it is a viral load of less than 400 or 50 copies/mL (depending on test used).

† REYATAZ in combination therapy had a 1-3% rate of moderate-to-severe diarrhea.
