Atazanavir and ritonavir is a fixed-dose combination of two antiretroviral drugs used in the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients. Atazanavir is a protease inhibitor used to prevent replication of HIV, while ritonavir acts as a pharmacokinetic enhancer by inhibiting CYP3A-mediated metabolism of atazanavir, thereby increasing its plasma concentrations. The combination is approved for clinical use and is used today as part of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
