Rukobia

Rukobia (fostemsavir) is listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG).

RUKOBIA is used, in combination with other anti-retroviral agents, to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection in adults aged 18 years and over. RUKOBIA contains fostemsavir trometamol, which is changed in the body to the active form of the drug, temsavir. RUKOBIA is a type of medicine known as an anti-retroviral. It belongs to a group of drugs called attachment inhibitors (AIs). It works by binding to the virus and then blocking HIV from attaching to, and infecting, your blood cells.

RUKOBIA doesn’t cure HIV infection; it reduces the amount of virus in your body and keeps it at a low level.
