1. What is Darunavir Aurovitas and what is it used for
What is Darunavir Aurovitas
Darunavir Aurovitas contains the active substance darunavir. Darunavir Aurovitas is an antiretroviral medicine used to treat HIV infection. It belongs to a group of protease inhibitors. The action of Darunavir Aurovitas is to reduce the amount of HIV virus in the body. This helps the immune system and reduces the risk of developing diseases related to HIV infection.
What is it used for
Darunavir Aurovitas is used to treat adults and children (from 3 years of age and weighing at least 15 kg) infected with HIV, including those who have previously been treated with other antiretroviral medicines. Darunavir Aurovitas should be taken in combination with a low dose of ritonavir and other HIV medicines. The best combination of medicines for the patient is determined by the doctor.
2. Important information before taking Darunavir Aurovitas
When not to take Darunavir Aurovitas
- if the patient is allergicto darunavir or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6) or to ritonavir;

The patient should tell their doctor about allmedicines they are taking, including those taken orally, inhaled, injected, or applied to the skin.

Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Darunavir Aurovitas, the patient should discuss it with their doctor, pharmacist, or nurse. Darunavir Aurovitas is not a cure for HIV infection. Patients taking Darunavir Aurovitas are still at risk of developing infections or other diseases related to the presence of HIV, so they should maintain regular contact with their doctor. In patients taking Darunavir Aurovitas, a skin rash may occur. Rarely, it can be severe or life-threatening. If a rash occurs, the patient should contact their doctor. A rash (usually mild or moderate) may occur more frequently in patients taking Darunavir Aurovitas and raltegravir than in patients taking either medicine separately.
When to inform the doctor about health status BEFORE and DURING treatment
After reading the following points, the patient should inform their doctor if any of them apply to them.
- The patient should inform their doctor if they have had liver disease in the past, including viral hepatitis B or C. The doctor will assess how severe the disease was before deciding whether it is possible to take Darunavir Aurovitas.
- The patient should inform their doctor if they have diabetes. Darunavir Aurovitas may increase blood sugar levels.
- The patient should immediately inform their doctor if they notice signs of infection (e.g., swollen lymph nodes, fever). In some patients with advanced HIV infection and a history of opportunistic infections, subjective and objective symptoms of inflammation related to previous infections may appear immediately after starting antiretroviral therapy. It is believed that the appearance of such symptoms is related to the strengthening of the body's immune response, which allows the body to fight existing asymptomatic infections.
- In addition to opportunistic infections, autoimmune diseases (diseases that occur when the immune system attacks healthy tissues) may also occur after starting antiretroviral therapy. Autoimmune diseases can occur many months after starting treatment. If the patient notices signs of infection or other symptoms, such as muscle weakness, weakness starting from the hands and feet and progressing towards the torso, palpitations, tremors, or hyperactivity, they should contact their doctor as soon as possible to start necessary treatment.
- The patient should inform their doctor if they have hemophilia. Darunavir Aurovitas may increase the risk of bleeding.
- The patient should inform their doctor about an allergy to sulfonamides (e.g., used to treat certain infections).
- The patient should inform their doctor about musculoskeletal disorders. In some patients taking combination antiretroviral therapy, a bone disease called osteonecrosis (bone death due to insufficient blood supply) may develop. Risk factors for developing this disease include: duration of combination antiretroviral therapy, use of corticosteroids, alcohol consumption, state of deep immunosuppression, increased body mass index, and others. Symptoms of osteonecrosis include: pain and stiffness of the joints (especially hips, knees, or shoulders) and difficulty moving. The patient should inform their doctor if they experience any of these symptoms.
Elderly patients
Darunavir Aurovitas has been used in only a small number of patients aged 65 and over. If the patient belongs to this age group, they should consult their doctor about whether they can take Darunavir Aurovitas.
Children and adolescents
Darunavir Aurovitas should not be used in children under 3 years of age or weighing less than 15 kg.
Darunavir Aurovitas and other medicines
The patient should tell their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.

In most cases, Darunavir Aurovitas can be taken with HIV medicines from another group [e.g., NRTIs (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors), NNRTIs (non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors), CCR5 antagonists, and fusion inhibitors]. However, studies have not been conducted on the simultaneous use of Darunavir Aurovitas and ritonavir with all PIs (protease inhibitors), and it should not be used in combination with other protease inhibitors. In some cases, it may be necessary to change the dosage of other medicines. Therefore, in each case, the patient should inform their doctor about the use of other HIV medicines and strictly follow the doctor's recommendations regarding the simultaneous use of other medicines.

These medicines are used to treat allergies, asthma, non-specific colitis, skin, eye, joint, and muscle inflammation, and other inflammatory conditions.
