Make doravirine a part of every day

What is doravirine?

Doravirine is an NNRTI that has demonstrated efficacy in both treatment-naïve and virologically supressed patients

PIFELTRO® (doravirine) 100 mg film-coated tablet is indicated, in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal products, for the treatment of adults, and adolescents aged 12 years and older, weighing at least 35 kg, infected with HIV-1, without past or present evidence of resistance to the NNRTI class.

DELSTRIGO® (100 mg doravirine/300 mg lamivudine/300 mg tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, equivalent to 245 mg tenofovir disoproxil) is indicated for the treatment of adults infected with HIV-1 without past or present evidence of resistance to the NNRTI class, lamivudine, or tenofovir.

DELSTRIGO® is also indicated for the treatment of adolescents aged 12 years and older weighing at least 35 kg, who are infected with HIV-1, without past or present evidence of resistance to the NNRTI class, lamivudine, or tenofovir and who have experienced toxicities which preclude the use of other regimens that do not contain tenofovir disoproxil.
