How it works
Durart-R 450 Tablet is a combination of two anti-HIV medicines. Altogether, Darunavir and Ritonavir work by interfering with an enzyme (protease) which is required by HIV-infected cells to make new viruses. This stops the production of new viruses. This is how it works to treat HIV infections.
Quick Tips
Durart-R 450 Tablet is used for the treatment of HIV infection. It is better to take it at mealtime (or within 30 minutes of eating a meal) as this will help your body to absorb the medicine. Keep your regular appointments with your doctor so that your progress can be monitored. Although treatment with Durart-R 450 Tablet may reduce the risk of you passing HIV to others through sexual contact, it does not stop it. It is important that you use condoms. It is not uncommon for people with HIV to feel depressed, especially soon after the diagnosis has been made and treatment has been started. In such a case, do not hesitate to speak with your doctor.
