Product Introduction
Atazor 200mg Capsule is an antiretroviral medication containing the active constituent Atazanavir. Along with other antiretroviral medications, it is used to treat HIV-1 infection. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) targets and kills immune system cells; if left untreated, the body's capacity to fight diseases declines and results in death. Lactose is present in this medicine. If you are intolerant to lactose, inform your doctor. Before taking Atazor 200mg Capsule, discuss with your doctor if you have liver, kidney, or stomach disorders, blood disorders, allergic reactions, or other medical conditions. Atazor 200mg Capsule and other antiretroviral drugs can help restore and maintain CD4 cell counts, strengthening the immune system's ability to fight infections. CD4 cells, also known as T-helper cells, are a type of immune cell targeted and depleted by HIV. Do not share personal objects, including razors or toothbrushes, with anyone.

This therapeutic effect allows individuals with HIV to maintain a healthier immune system and improve their long-term outcomes.
