About The Product

HIV infection

  • The contents of Instgra 50 mg include dolutegravir, which acts as an antiretroviral agent.
  • It is used in the treatment of patients infected with HIV, in both adult and child patients weighing 14-20 kg.
  • As an integrase inhibitor, this drug inhibits the replication of the virus within the body, hence reducing its concentration while increasing the count of CD4 cells to enhance the immune system of the patient.
  • It is important to note that this drug does not offer a cure for the infection; rather, it is essential in the prolonged treatment process and is usually administered either once or twice a day, regardless of whether food was taken or not.
  • Consistency in the intake of this drug is crucial, since missing any doses might make the medication less effective, leading to resistance.
  • The intake of antacids or calcium supplements should also be avoided around the period of administration of the drug due to possible interactions.
