Description

Raltegravir tablets 400 mg is a human immunodeficiency virus integrase strand transfer inhibitor (HIV-1 INSTI) that belongs to a group called antiviral agents. It helps manage HIV infection, a virus that weakens the immune system and makes it hard for the body to fight infections. HIV can lead to a serious condition called AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). This oral medicine is suitable for both adults and children who weigh more than 2 kg.

Raltegravir 400 mg is an HIV integrase inhibitor. It works by stopping the virus from multiplying in the body. It does this by blocking a viral enzyme called HIV integrase, which the virus needs to survive. When taken with other medicines, Raltegravir can lower the number of viruses in the blood and help improve the immune system.

It’s necessary to note that Raltegravir cannot completely cure HIV. It can only reduce the amount of virus in the body and keep it at a lower level. While taking this medicine, your doctor will keep an eye on your weight, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels to prevent side effects.

Before starting treatment, tell your doctor if you have diabetes or liver complications (like hepatitis C or B). Also, let your doctor know if you have ever had mental health issues, such as depression or psychosis.

Even when using Raltegravir 400 mg tablets, you need to take steps to prevent spreading the virus to others. This means avoiding unprotected sex, not sharing needles, and not sharing personal items like toothbrushes or razors. This medication is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
