How Generic Reyataz Works

Generic Reyataz suppresses HIV replication by blocking protease during the final stage of the virus life cycle. Without this enzyme, newly formed HIV particles cannot mature properly, limiting their ability to infect new immune cells.

Reyataz is commonly taken with a booster such as ritonavir or cobicistat, which increases drug levels and enhances effectiveness. When used consistently with other antiretrovirals, it helps maintain long-term viral suppression and immune protection.
