Overview

Atazanavir Krka is an HIV medicine used to treat patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), a virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is used together with low-dose ritonavir and other antiviral medicines to treat patients aged 6 years and over.

Doctors should prescribe Atazanavir Krka only after they have looked at which medicines the patient has taken and carried out tests to establish that the virus is likely to respond to Atazanavir Krka. The medicine is not expected to work in patients in whom many medicines in the same class as Atazanavir Krka (protease inhibitors) do not work.

Atazanavir Krka contains the active substance atazanavir and is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that Atazanavir Krka contains the same active substance and works in the same way as a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the EU called Reyataz.

Pharmacotherapeutic group

Antivirals for systemic use

Therapeutic indication

Atazanavir Krka capsules, co-administered with low dose ritonavir, are indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infected adults and paediatric patients 6 years of age and older in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal products.

Based on available virological and clinical data from adult patients, no benefit is expected in patients with strains resistant to multiple protease inhibitors (≥ 4 PI mutations).

The choice of Atazanavir Krka in treatment experienced adult and paediatric patients should be based on individual viral resistance testing and the patient’s treatment history.
