About this active substance

Etravirine is an antiviral medication used in the treatment of HIV infection, especially recommended for patients who have developed resistance to other antiretroviral therapies. It works by inhibiting an enzyme essential for the multiplication of the virus, thus helping to reduce viral load and boost the body's immunity.

Etravirine is usually administered as tablets, in combination with other antiretroviral drugs, according to the regimen established by the specialist doctor. It is important to take the treatment regularly, at the same times, to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Side effects may include skin rashes, nausea, diarrhea, headaches, or sleep disturbances. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions or liver dysfunction may occur, which is why periodic medical monitoring is necessary.

Etravirine is an important option for HIV patients who no longer respond to other treatments, helping to maintain a good quality of life and prevent complications of the infection.
