Is FUZEON^® effective if I have a virus that is resistant to all other anti-HIV medications?

FUZEON in combination with other antiretroviral agents is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in treatment-experienced patients with evidence of HIV-1 replication despite ongoing antiretroviral therapy. Please contact your healthcare provider for more information.

Because of the way it works, FUZEON is active against HIV that is resistant to other HIV medications—so if you have not been on FUZEON before and those other medications have failed you, your virus should still be sensitive to FUZEON because it has never seen anything like it. As with any other HIV medication, it is possible to develop resistance to FUZEON.

FUZEON does not cure HIV infection or AIDS. Individuals taking FUZEON may still develop opportunistic infections or other conditions associated with HIV infection. It is also possible that you may have a higher chance of getting bacterial pneumonia than before you started FUZEON. For these reasons, it is very important that you remain under the care of your healthcare provider while taking FUZEON.
