What is Isentress?

Isentress is a prescription medication given to adults and children weighing at least 4.4 pounds (2 kg) to treat an HIV-1 infection.

If you have an HIV-1 infection, your doctor may prescribe Isentress to you to help treat it. Isentress won’t cure your HIV-1 infection, but it will help to reduce how much virus you have in your body (this is termed your viral load). This can limit the damage to your immune system the HIV-1 virus causes and can help your immune system to fight other infections and some types of cancer.

You take Isentress as a tablet that you either swallow or chew, or as an oral suspension (power in a liquid) that you drink. The dose and how often you take Isentress will be decided upon by the doctor who prescribes it to you.

Isentress active ingredients

Isentress contains an active ingredient called raltegravir. It is an antiviral drug that can slow the spread of the HIV-1 virus through your body.

The HIV-1 virus invades your T-cells and inserts itself into their DNA to take advantage of the cell’s DNA copying process. Raltegravir blocks a step in this process, making it harder for the virus to multiply, reducing the amount of virus you have in your body over time. This limits the damage the HIV-1 virus can do to your immune system.

Isentress side effects & Isentress drug interactions

As with all medications, Isentress can cause side effects. The most common include:

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Nausea (feeling sick)
• Tiredness
• Problems sleeping (insomnia)

Sometimes, Isentress can cause more serious side effects. These include:

• Severe allergic reactions to the medication that can cause anaphylaxis
• Serious skin reactions that can cause blistering and widespread peeling
• Depression and suicidal thoughts and actions
• New or worsening kidney problems, including kidney failure
• A worsening of an existing hepatitis B infection

Isentress can interact with other medications. When this happens, it can change how Isentress and the other medications work. It can also make some side effects more likely. These medications include:

• Antacids, taken to neutralize stomach acid to relieve indigestion and heartburn
• Rifampicin, an antibiotic used to treat some bacterial infections like tuberculosis

If you are unsure if you are taking any of these, take the packaging of all your medications and supplements to your doctor or pharmacist.
