Why is Synthivan prescribed?

Synthivan is prescribed for the treatment of HIV infection. It aids in controlling HIV by inhibiting viral replication, which slows the advancement of AIDS and other related health complications.

What does it do?

Synthivan combines Atazanavir and Ritonavir, two protease inhibitors that help manage HIV by blocking the virus’s protease enzyme, preventing it from producing mature infectious particles. This action reduces viral load, supports immune function, and slows disease progression. Ritonavir also enhances Atazanavir’s effectiveness by increasing its concentration in the bloodstream.

How should I take it?

Synthivan should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The usual dosage is one tablet daily, containing Atazanavir (300 mg) and Ritonavir (100 mg). To ensure optimal absorption, take it with food and adhere to a consistent daily schedule to maintain stable drug levels. Avoid crushing or splitting the tablet.

What if I missed a dose?

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if your next scheduled dose is approaching, skip the missed dose and proceed with your usual dosing routine. Do not take extra or double doses to make up for the missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Synthivan?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history.

Disclose all your current or past medical conditions to your doctor, particularly if you have:

• Pancreatitis
• Heart problems
• Liver disease
• Kidney problems

Patients with galactose intolerance or lactase deficiency should avoid Synthivan.

Use Synthivan Tablet with caution, as it may lead to elevated cholesterol and fat levels in the bloodstream.

Never share this medication with others, even if their condition seems similar, as it could lead to unforeseen health risks or harmful side effects.
