Ritonavir is an antiviral medication used in the treatment of HIV and COVID-19.
MFDS ingredient code M259362
Ritonavir is an antiviral ingredient that belongs to the class of protease inhibitors. It is primarily used in the treatment of HIV infection and in conjunction with other antiviral agents for COVID-19 treatment to inhibit viral replication.
Ritonavir works by blocking a crucial enzyme called protease that the virus needs to replicate, preventing the virus from reproducing correctly. This leads to a reduction in viral load and helps control the infection.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
Unlike other protease inhibitors, ritonavir also acts to slow down drug metabolism, serving as a booster that enhances the effectiveness of co-administered antiviral agents. This characteristic distinguishes ritonavir from other antiviral medications.
