Rilpivirine Tablet

What is Rilpivirine Tablet?

Rilpivirine Tablet is a drug that is used in combination with other drugs to treat human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) in adults and children aged 12 and up who weigh at least 35 kg and have never had antiretroviral therapy. It's also used in combination with cabotegravir in the treatment of HIV-1 infection in some people for a brief period of time. Rilpivirine belongs to the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors class of drugs (NNRTIs). It works by lowering HIV levels in the bloodstream. Despite the fact that rilpivirine does not eliminate HIV, it may reduce your risk of acquiring AIDS and HIV-related illnesses such as serious infections or cancer.

Rilpivirine Tablet - How To Use

• Rilpivirine is available as a tablet that must be swallowed. It's normally taken once a day with a meal (not simply a protein drink). When taken with cabotegravir, rilpivirine is normally taken once a day with a meal.
• Take a rilpivirine tablet at the same time every day, either alone or with cabotegravir. Rilpivirine Tablet is taken for around one month with cabotegravir before starting therapy with the lengthy injectable formulations of these drugs, or for up to two months if the injectable care plan is missed for more than seven days.
• Carefully follow the advice on your medication label. Rilpivirine should be taken exactly as prescribed. Do not use more or less of it, or take it more frequently than your doctor has suggested.
• Even if you feel fine, keep taking rilpivirine. Stopping rilpivirine without consulting your doctor is not a good decision. Your disease may become more difficult to treat if you skip doses or stop taking the rilpivirine tablet.
