Product Introduction: Ritonavir is a medication primarily used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. It belongs to a class of drugs known as protease inhibitors. It was first introduced in the late 1990s as part of combination therapy for HIV/AIDS.
Uses:
- HIV Treatment: Ritonavir is used in combination with other antiretroviral medications to manage HIV infection. It helps to slow down the progression of the disease by inhibiting the activity of the HIV protease enzyme, thus preventing the virus from replicating.
Benefits:
- Effective HIV Management: Ritonavir, when used as part of antiretroviral therapy (ART), can significantly reduce the viral load in HIV-positive individuals, thereby slowing the progression of the disease.
- Improved Immune Function: By controlling HIV replication, ritonavir helps to preserve immune function, reducing the risk of opportunistic infections and other complications associated with advanced HIV/AIDS.
