Can Bituvir and darunavir be taken together?

Ritonavir and darunavir (Darunavir) are often used together, but only under a doctor's supervision because the combination can enhance the effects of darunavir.

Bitavi is anotherHIVprotease inhibitor that is commonly used to increase the plasma concentration of other antiretroviral drugs (such as darunavir), thereby enhancing their efficacy. This method of use, known as "Bitavi-boosted", involves using Bituvit with other antiviral drugs to increase the concentration and duration of these drugs in the body.

Typically, darunavir is combined with Bituvir to form a treatment regimen called "darunavir/Bitavi". This combination treatment regimen, common in antiretroviral therapy (ART), can help reduce viral load, maintain immune system function, and slow the progression of HIV infection.

However, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendations when using medications. Only a doctor can evaluate potential drug interactions, dosage, and efficacy based on your specific situation and develop the most appropriate treatment plan for you. If you have questions or concerns about the combined use of darunavir and darunavir, please consult your doctor or professional health care provider promptly.

Darunavir is currently on the market in China, but it has not yet been included in medical insurance. Patients can buy it at domestic pharmacies at a price of around 2,000 yuan. Please consult the local hospital pharmacy for details. The cheaper ones abroad are Indian generic drugs, which cost around 320 yuan, and the ingredients of original drugs and generic drugs are basically the same.
