Atazor R – The Dual Power of Atazanavir and Ritonavir

Atazor tablet combines Atazanavir and Ritonavir to provide an effective treatment option for people living with HIV. This powerful duo works in synergy, helping suppress viral replication, strengthen immunity, and support comprehensive antiretroviral therapy. HIV targets and destroys CD4 (T-cells)—the immune system’s key defenders. Without treatment, the infection progresses to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), leaving the body vulnerable to life-threatening infections.

HIV is mainly transmitted through unprotected sexual contact, sharing contaminated needles, or from mother to child during birth or breastfeeding. Effective antiretroviral therapy like Atazor R plays a crucial role in controlling the virus, slowing its progression, and preventing complications.
