What is EDURANT?
EDURANT is the brand name for rilpivirine and is available as an oral tablet.
What dosages is EDURANT available in?
EDURANT is available as a 25 mg oral tablet.
What is EDURANT used for?
EDURANT is a HIV ARV and is used for the following:
- Treatment of HIV-1 infection in people with an HIV viral load of less than 100,000 copies/mL and who haven’t taken HIV medications before
- Short-term treatment of HIV-1 infection in certain people who are planning to start or planning to miss a dose of Cabenuva (cabotegravir / rilpivirine)
How does EDURANT work?
EDURANT is an HIV antiretroviral medication that’s known as a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). It blocks an enzyme called reverse transcriptase that helps HIV make copies of itself. By blocking this enzyme, the medication prevents HIV from spreading.
How do I take EDURANT?
EDURANT is dosed as follows:
- Treatment of HIV-1: The typical dose is 25 mg by mouth once a day with a meal. EDURANT is taken with other antiretroviral medications
- Short-term treatment of HIV-1 before starting Cabunuva (cabotegravir / rilpivirine): The typical dose is 25 mg by mouth once a day with a meal for about 1 month (at least 28 days). It’s taken together with Vocabria (cabotegravir)
- Replacing a missed injection of Cabenuva (cabotegravir / rilpivirine): Your HIV specialist might prescribe EDURANT for you to take for a short while if you’re getting Cabenuva injections for HIV but will miss an injection because of a schedule conflict (e.g., traveling). The typical dose of EDURANT is 25 mg by mouth once a day with a meal and with Vocabria (cabotegravir). This combination is only meant to be taken for up to 2 months to replace missed injections
