What is Prezcobix?
Prezcobix contains a combination of darunavir and cobicistat. Darunavir is an antiviral medicine that prevents human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from multiplying in your body. Cobicistat reduces the action of enzymes in your liver that break down certain antiviral medicines. This allows the antiviral medicines to be used more safely and effectively at lower doses.
Prezcobix is a combination medicine given together with other antiviral medicines to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in adults, the virus that can cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Prezcobix is not a cure for HIV or AIDS.
Prezcobix is for use in adults and children who weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kilograms).

Call your doctor at once if you have signs of a serious side effect--upper stomach pain, vomiting, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), fever, tiredness, eye redness, muscle or joint pain, skin sores, or a skin rash with blistering.
