About this active substance

Maraviroc is a medication used in the treatment of HIV-1 infection. It acts as a CCR5 receptor antagonist, blocking the virus from entering host cells.

The medication is taken orally, usually in tablet form, and is used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs to enhance treatment efficacy. It is important to follow the treatment regimen prescribed by the doctor.

Side effects may include nausea, fatigue, dizziness, or upper respiratory tract infections. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions or liver problems may occur.

Maraviroc is not recommended for patients with severe liver impairment or those with CCR5 receptor mutations that render the treatment ineffective.
