Atazor-R Tablet (Atazanavir & Ritonavir) – HIV Infection Treatment

Atazor-R Tablet is a combination of antiretroviral medicines (Atazanavir and Ritonavir) prescribed to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. It strengthens the immune system to combat HIV and manage AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). By inhibiting viral growth, it reduces HIV-related complications and improves lifespan.
