Ritonavir

Ritonavir is a medication primarily used to treat HIV/AIDS. It works by blocking an enzyme that the virus needs to multiply, helping to reduce the amount of virus in the body. Although it was initially developed as a standalone drug, it is now mainly used in combination with other HIV medications to boost their effectiveness. Ritonavir also affects how the body processes certain drugs, so it’s important to use it under medical supervision. Overall, it plays a crucial role in managing HIV infection and helping patients maintain their health.
