Medical Description
Saquin capsule is used with other antiviral medicines to help control human immunodeficiency virus infection in adults. It contains saquinavir, an antiviral medicine that blocks a viral protein-cutting step needed to make new infectious virus particles. By slowing virus multiplication, it helps reduce the amount of virus in the blood as part of a prescribed combination regimen. Saquin capsule is taken by mouth with food and requires specialist follow-up because other medicines can greatly change its levels. It does not remove the infection from the body or eliminate the need for safer-sex advice.
