Prezista Indications/Uses

PREZISTA (darunavir), co-administered with 100 mg ritonavir, and with other antiretroviral agents, is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in antiretroviral treatment-experienced adult patients, such as those with HIV-1 strains resistant to more than one protease inhibitor.
This indication is based on Week 24 analyses of plasma HIV RNA levels and CD4+ cell counts from 2 controlled trials of PREZISTA/rtv in combination with other antiretroviral drugs. Both studies were conducted in clinically advanced, treatment-experienced (NRTIs, NNRTIs and PIs) adult patients with evidence of HIV-1 replication despite ongoing antiretroviral therapy.
The following points should be considered when initiating therapy with PREZISTA/rtv: The use of other active agents with PREZISTA/rtv is associated with a greater likelihood of treatment response.
The risk and benefits of PREZISTA/rtv have not been established in treatment-naïve adult patients or pediatric patients.
