Frequently asked questions

What is Intelence used for?+
Intelence contains etravirine and is prescribed as part of combination antiretroviral therapy to treat HIV‑1 infection in adults and adolescents. It works alongside other agents to suppress viral replication and improve immune function.
How does etravirine work?+
Etravirine binds to a specific non‑nucleoside site on the HIV‑1 reverse transcriptase enzyme, blocking its ability to synthesize DNA from viral RNA. This inhibition stops the virus from replicating within host cells, reducing viral load.
What is the usual dose of Intelence?+
The dosage of Intelence is determined by the prescribing clinician based on individual patient factors, including other antiretroviral medications, resistance profile, and clinical response. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.
Is Intelence safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
