What is Selzentry?
Selzentry is a brand-name prescription drug used to control HIV/AIDS due to HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). The active ingredient in Selzentry, maraviroc, prevents the HIV virus from entering cells and reproducing. The HIV virus attacks white blood cells that are critical in the body's defense against infection. Blocking HIV from entering those cells prevents the virus from making new viruses in the white blood cells and prevents the virus from killing those cells when the new virus particles break those cells open.
Selzentry is taken as a tablet or oral solution once or twice daily. Selzentry makes hepatitis B infections worse, so Selzentry is not prescribed to patients with hepatitis B.
