2. Product Description

Anzavir-R Tablet is a fixed-dose combination of Atazanavir and Ritonavir. Atazanavir is a protease inhibitor that blocks the action of the HIV protease enzyme, preventing viral replication. Ritonavir acts as a pharmacokinetic booster by inhibiting the metabolism of Atazanavir, thereby increasing its effectiveness. The medicine is used in the management of HIV-1 infection in combination with other antiretroviral agents.
