What does it do?

Silica-adsorbed cobicistat is a form where the cobicistat ingredient used in antiretroviral therapy is adsorbed onto silica. It is primarily used to increase the concentration of other antiviral agents in the body and enhance their effects, particularly in HIV infection treatments.

This ingredient inhibits enzymes responsible for drug metabolism in the liver, thereby slowing the breakdown of other antiretroviral agents. As a result, the drug stays in the body longer, helping to maintain its effects.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Silica-adsorbed cobicistat stabilizes cobicistat and aids in its absorption, and unlike standalone cobicistat, it combines with silica to improve the formulation's stability and bioavailability.
