Prezcobix is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients, used in combination with other antiretroviral agents.

Prezcobix contains darunavir, a protease inhibitor that blocks HIV replication by inhibiting the protease enzyme, and cobicistat, which acts as a pharmacokinetic enhancer by inhibiting CYP3A enzymes to increase darunavir blood levels.

Prezcobix does not cure HIV/AIDS and must be used with other antiretroviral drugs. Resistance testing is recommended before initiation. Patients should be monitored for kidney function and drug interactions. It is not recommended for patients with severe hepatic impairment. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, and rash.
