Maraviroc

Maraviroc is an antiretroviral medication used to treat HIV-1 infection in adults and children. It is a CCR5 antagonist, which means it works by blocking the CCR5 co-receptor on the surface of T-cells. This action prevents HIV from entering and infecting these immune cells, thereby reducing the viral load in the body.

What is Maraviroc Used For?



Common Dosages

  • Tablets: 150 mg and 300 mg.
