YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy in Manitoba. Pharmacists review prescriptions before dispensing.

This medicine contains maraviroc. It works by binding to the CCR5 receptor on CD4 cells, which may prevent HIV‑1 from entering those cells. It is used as part of a combination regimen. A tropism test is required before starting to confirm the virus uses the CCR5 pathway.

Who It’s For

This treatment is for people with confirmed CCR5‑tropic HIV‑1. It is used with other antiretrovirals selected by your prescriber. It may be used in adults and in some pediatric patients when appropriate and supported by the label. It is not effective against viruses that use CXCR4 or dual/mixed tropism.

People with a history of significant liver problems, low blood pressure, heart disease, or severe kidney impairment should discuss risks. Those taking strong interacting medicines need careful review before starting.

Dosage and Usage

The dose and schedule depend on your other HIV medicines and clinical factors. Many adult regimens use Maraviroc 300 mg tablets taken twice daily. Take doses consistently, with or without food, as directed. If your regimen includes certain inhibitors or inducers, your prescriber will choose an appropriate dose.

Swallow tablets whole with water. Keep taking this therapy exactly as prescribed even when you feel well. Do not change your combination regimen unless your clinician advises.

Strengths and Forms

Tablets are commonly available in two strengths and may be film‑coated for ease of swallowing. Availability can vary by supplier and stock.

• Maraviroc 150 mg tablets

Other presentations may exist for different patient needs; your prescriber will match the form to your regimen.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to your next scheduled time, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double doses. Try using reminders or a pillbox to keep a steady routine. Consistent timing helps your overall regimen work as intended.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store tablets at room temperature in a dry place. Keep the bottle tightly closed and away from moisture. Protect from excess heat and direct light. Keep out of reach of children and pets. When traveling, carry your medicine in your hand luggage with a copy of your prescription. Use the original labeled container for security checks. If crossing borders, allow extra time for documentation and pack enough supply for the trip.

Benefits

As part of an optimized combination, this medicine can help reduce viral load and support immune recovery. The class targets a host cell entry step, which may benefit those with CCR5‑tropic virus. Twice‑daily dosing can align with many existing regimens. Tablet storage and portability are straightforward for daily life and travel.

Side Effects and Safety

• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Cough or upper respiratory symptoms
• Nausea, diarrhea, or stomach discomfort
• Headache or sleep disturbance
• Rash or itching

Serious effects can include liver problems that may present with rash, itching, dark urine, jaundice, or abdominal pain. Severe allergic reactions can occur. Low blood pressure and fainting are possible, especially in those with cardiovascular disease. Report unusual symptoms to a healthcare professional promptly. Seek urgent care for signs of severe reaction, trouble breathing, chest pain, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

This medicine is metabolized via CYP3A. Strong CYP3A inhibitors or inducers can change levels. Examples include certain protease inhibitors, azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics, rifamycins, some anticonvulsants, and herbal products like St. John’s wort. Alcohol can worsen dizziness. People with hepatitis coinfection or significant liver disease require careful monitoring. Use caution when driving or standing quickly if you feel lightheaded.

Always share your full medication list, including over‑the‑counter products and supplements, with your prescriber. They will select a compatible regimen.

What to Expect Over Time

HIV management is a long‑term plan. Your clinician will monitor viral load and CD4 counts to assess response. Many people continue the same combination when it remains effective and well tolerated. If labs or tolerability change, your care team may adjust other components. Staying on schedule, keeping appointments, and maintaining open communication support good outcomes over time.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

People likely to benefit include those with confirmed CCR5‑tropic HIV‑1 for whom an entry inhibitor fits the overall plan. Those with significant liver disease, low blood pressure, or complex drug interactions may not be ideal candidates. Your clinician will make that determination.

Cost‑saving ideas include multi‑month refills when safe for storage, aligning shipment timing with other medicines, and setting refill reminders. Keep an updated medication list to avoid duplicate shipments. Comparing tablet counts per bottle can help optimize per‑dose value without changing your prescribed dose.
