What is FUZEON^®, and how does it work?

FUZEON is a medicine called an HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) fusion inhibitor. FUZEON is used to treat adults and children ages 6 years and older with HIV infection who are treatment experienced. FUZEON must be used with other anti-HIV medicines.

FUZEON blocks HIV's ability to infect healthy T cells (CD4). When used with other anti-HIV medicines, FUZEON can reduce the amount of HIV in the blood and increase the number of T cells. This may keep your immune system healthy, so it can help fight infection.

FUZEON does not cure HIV infection or AIDS. People taking FUZEON may still get opportunistic infections or other conditions that can happen with HIV infection. For these reasons, it is very important that you remain under the care of your healthcare provider while taking FUZEON.
