AAG, AmritsarAIDS Awareness Group, Amritsar: Another weapon in Fight Against HIV/AIDS

Another weapon in Fight Against HIV/AIDS

Atazanavir
The molecule was introduced in India by Emcure.
A function for this was held in New Delhi on 5th August for the same.
This is a good second line option with less cardiotoxicity but the disadvantage of causing "Yellow Eyes" due to increased indirect serum bilirubin.
Should always be used with another PI boosted( as is done in other PI's now)-Ritonavir 100 mg bd.
Dose of Atazanavir is 3 tablets once a day.
Hope for ARV experienced patients.
Another matter which was discussed by Bharti with Emcure Chief was to start a TAAL in Amritsar-a pharmacy for PLHA of PLHA by PLHA. PLHA ,Amritsar will surely work on it and try to be a part of Haath Se haath Mila Chain
