Results for the substance enfuvirtide

Enfuvirtide is an antiviral medication used in the treatment of HIV infection, especially in patients who no longer respond to other antiretroviral therapies. It works by blocking the entry of HIV into immune system cells, thus slowing disease progression and reducing viral load.

Enfuvirtide is administered as subcutaneous injections, usually twice a day, as directed by your doctor. It is important for the patient to strictly follow the treatment schedule to ensure the therapy's effectiveness.

Common side effects include injection site reactions (redness, pain, swelling), infections, nausea, or fatigue. Rarely, severe allergic reactions or pneumonia may occur. Regular medical monitoring is essential during treatment.

Enfuvirtide provides an additional option for patients with HIV resistant to other treatments, but requires correct administration and medical supervision to prevent complications.
