Vocabria is an antiviral medication used to treat or help prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in certain adults and teens.

Vocabria is an integrase inhibitor. It works by blocking an enzyme (protein) called integrase that HIV uses to insert its genetic material into your cells. By stopping this step, the medication helps prevent the virus from growing and spreading, lowering the amount of HIV in your body.

Vocabria is approved for adults and teens ages 12 and older, weighing at least 35 kg (77 lbs).
