Atazor R Tablet 30's

Atazor R Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘antiretroviral agents’ used to treat HIV infection. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune cells of the body leading to decreased immunity. It spreads through body fluids such as semen, vaginal fluid, and blood. Symptoms include fever, chills, rash, night sweats, muscle aches, tiredness, and sore throat that usually last for days to several weeks.

Atazor R Tablet is a combination of Atazanavir and Ritonavir. These drugs belong to the class of protease inhibitors. They work by inhibiting the protease enzyme production, which is required by the HIV-infected cells to make new viruses. This effect helps to inhibit viral replication.
