Drug introduction

Maraviroc is a prescription medicine used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. It belongs to a class of drugs called CCR5 antagonists, which slow the spread of the virus by preventing HIV from entering host cells. Maraviroc is often used with other antiretroviral drugs as part of antiretroviral therapy.

Before using Maraviroc, patients need to have a CCR5 receptor test to make sure the drug is effective for them. While taking Maraviroc, patients should follow their doctor's advice and have regular checkups to monitor their condition and drug effectiveness.

Although Maraviroc can help control HIV infection, it does not cure HIV or AIDS. Patients may experience side effects when using Maraviroc, including headache, nausea, and fatigue. If serious adverse reactions or allergic reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately.

Be sure to follow your doctor's advice and use Maraviroc correctly as prescribed.

Dosage

Instructions for use: Please take MARAVIROC on an empty stomach at a fixed time every day, that is, once a day. Please do not take it with meals. The effect is better when taken on an empty stomach.
