Atazor is a medication that fights retroviruses, specifically designed to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, which leads to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Atazor belongs to a category of HIV treatments known as protease inhibitors (PIs). These inhibitors obstruct an enzyme in HIV called protease. (An enzyme is a type of protein that initiates or accelerates a chemical reaction.) By inhibiting protease, PIs hinder the replication of HIV and can lower the viral load in the body.
Atazor also aids in reducing the level of HIV in your system, enhancing the functionality of your immune system. This decrease in viral presence diminishes the risk of HIV-related complications (like new infections or cancer) and contributes to a better quality of life.
Side Effects of Atazor: headache; dizziness; anxiety; insomnia; muscle or joint pain; vomiting; cough; stomach discomfort; loss of appetite; fever; gas; facial or tongue swelling; mouth sores; among others.
