Ritomune - Ritonavir 100 mg Tabs

Ritonavir belongs to a class of antiretroviral medications known as protease inhibitors, and while it has activity against HIV on its own, it is most commonly used today in small doses as a "booster" to enhance other protease inhibitors used in HIV treatment. It works by inhibiting certain liver enzymes responsible for breaking down other antiretroviral drugs, which allows those medications to remain active in the bloodstream for longer and at higher concentrations. This boosting effect enables lower doses of the primary protease inhibitor to be used while still achieving strong antiviral activity, often improving overall treatment convenience. Ritonavir is typically combined with medications such as Lopinavir or Darunavir as part of a complete antiretroviral regimen alongside other HIV drug classes. By supporting more effective and consistent drug levels, Ritonavir helps contribute to better viral suppression and improved treatment outcomes. It is generally taken orally, often with food, following the dosing schedule established by a healthcare provider for the specific combination regimen. Consistent use as prescribed is important for maintaining the intended boosting effect and overall treatment effectiveness. Many patients benefit from improved viral control when Ritonavir is included as part of their antiretroviral therapy. As with all antiretroviral medications, it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider as part of a personalized HIV treatment plan.
