Uses of Myvajra Tablet

Benefits of Myvajra Tablet

In HIV infection

Myvajra Tablet prevents the HIV virus from multiplying in your body. It helps control the infection and makes your immune system work better. This lowers your chances of getting complications such as new infections and improves your 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 that you take this medicine as prescribed, following the dosage recommended by your doctor.

However, taking this medicine will not prevent you from passing HIV to other people.
