About EDURANT(R) (rilpivirine)

Rilpivirine was developed by Janssen R&D Ireland Ltd, one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies.

The registered formulation of rilpivirine is a 25 mg film-coated tablet taken orally once daily. Marketed as EDURANT(R), rilpivirine is indicated, in combination with other ARVs, for the treatment of HIV-1 in ARV treatment-naive adult patients. In most countries, including US and EU, this indication is further restricted to patients with a viral load < 100,000 copies/ mL.

Rilpivirine is available in the United States (US) and the European Union as part of a once daily fixed dose antiretroviral combination with Gilead Sciences Inc's tenofovir and emtricitabine. This combination, known as COMPLERA(R) (US) or EVIPLERA(R), was granted marketing authorisation from the Food and Drug Administration in August 2011, with Gilead Sciences Inc being the marketing authorisation holder in the US, and from the European Commission in November 2011, with Gilead Sciences International Ltd. being the marketing authorisation holder in Europe, Middle East and Africa.

About TIVICAY(R) (dolutegravir)

TIVICAY(R) (dolutegravir) is an integrase inhibitor indicated for use in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 in adults and children aged 12 years and older weighing at least 40 kg. Integrase inhibitors block HIV replication by preventing the viral DNA from integrating into the genetic material of human immune cells (T-cells). This step is essential in the HIV replication cycle and is also responsible for establishing chronic infection. It is available as a small, yellow, 50 mg tablet. Importantly, it can be taken with or without food and at any time of the day.
