Rilpivirine is an antiretroviral medication used for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and adolescents. It acts as a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), blocking the replication of the HIV virus.

The medication is taken orally, as directed by a doctor, usually once daily with food. It is important for patients to follow the treatment regimen to prevent the development of viral resistance.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as nausea, headaches, or insomnia. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include nausea, headaches, and insomnia. In rare cases, severe reactions such as severe depression or allergic reactions may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before starting treatment.
