Key points

  • Darunavir must be taken as the exact boosted combination selected by the HIV care team.
  • The booster creates extensive medicine and herbal interactions that require a complete medication review.
  • A blistering rash, facial swelling, jaundice or severe abdominal pain needs urgent assessment.

Listings are for comparison only. Suitability and supply depend on clinician and pharmacy checks, stock, destination rules and prescription requirements.

How it works

Darunavir blocks HIV protease, preventing newly produced viral particles from maturing. A booster slows its breakdown so effective exposure can be maintained.

Important safety checks

Resistance history, liver disease or hepatitis, sulfonamide allergy, diabetes and all prescription, over-the-counter and herbal products require review. Do not stop one regimen component or restart after an interruption without the HIV team.

When to seek urgent care

Seek urgent help for a painful or blistering rash, peeling skin, mouth or eye sores, facial swelling, breathing difficulty, yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, severe abdominal pain or marked weakness.
