Ritomune 100 MG Capsule 60 contains ritonavir (100 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Protease Inhibition: Ritonavir blocks a viral enzyme called protease, which HIV needs to make new, infectious virus particles, preventing HIV from multiplying in your body.

• Viral Maturation Prevention: By interfering with the protease enzyme, ritonavir stops HIV from completing its development cycle, resulting in the production of immature, non-infectious virus particles.

• Immune System Protection: By reducing the amount of HIV in your body, ritonavir helps prevent damage to the immune system and allows it to recover from previous damage.

• Boosting Effect: Ritonavir can slow down the breakdown of other HIV medicines in the liver, making them stay in the body longer and work more effectively against the virus.
