Uses of Avonza Tablet

Benefits of Avonza Tablet

In Treatment of HIV infection

Avonza Tablet prevents HIV from multiplying in the body. It helps control the infection and make the immune system work better. This lowers the chances of getting complications, such as new infections, and improves the quality of life.

It is not a cure of HIV or AIDS and should not be used to prevent HIV after accidental exposure to a risk. It is important to take this medicine as prescribed by the doctor.

Although taking this medicine does not prevent the passing of HIV to other people.
