List of antiretroviral fixed-dose combinations
Antiretroviral fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) are formulations that combine two or more antiretroviral drugs into a single pill. These combinations are a cornerstone in the management of HIV/AIDS, simplifying treatment regimens by reducing the number of pills a patient needs to take, which can improve adherence and outcomes. This article provides a list of antiretroviral fixed-dose combinations, highlighting their components and uses in HIV treatment.
