Atizor 200mg/5ml Suspension 25ml is a medication that comes in the form of a suspension, which means it contains small particles of the active ingredient (Atazanavir) evenly dispersed in a liquid. Atazanavir is an antiviral medication that belongs to a class of drugs called protease inhibitors, which are used to treat infections caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
The concentration of Atazanavir in this suspension is 200mg per 5ml of liquid. This means that each 5ml dose of the suspension contains 200mg of the active ingredient. The suspension comes in a 25ml bottle, which should be shaken well before use to ensure the medication is evenly distributed.
Atizor 200mg/5ml Suspension 25ml is typically used as part of a combination therapy regimen for the treatment of HIV infections in adults and children above the age of 3 months. It works by blocking the action of an enzyme called HIV protease, which is necessary for the virus to multiply and spread throughout the body. By inhibiting this enzyme, Atazanavir helps to slow down the progression of the infection and reduce the amount of virus in the bloodstream.
It is important to take this medication as directed by a healthcare professional, usually once a day with food, to ensure its effectiveness and minimize the risk of side effects. Common side effects of Atazanavir may include nausea, diarrhea, headache, and rash.
