Darunavir (DRV), sold under the brand name Prezista among others, is an antiretroviral medication used to treat and prevent HIV/AIDS.[1] It is generally recommended for use with other antiretrovirals.[1][4] It is often used with low doses of ritonavir or cobicistat to increase darunavir levels.[1] It may be used for prevention after a needlestick injury or other potential exposure.[1] It is taken by mouth once to twice a day.[1]

Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, headache, rash and vomiting.[1][4] Severe side effects include allergic reactions, liver problems, and skin rashes such as toxic epidermal necrolysis.[1] While poorly studied in pregnancy it appears to be safe for the baby.[2] It is of the protease inhibitor (PI) class and works by blocking HIV protease.[1]

Darunavir was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June 2006.[6][7] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[8] It is available as a generic medication.[9]

It is available in the fixed-dose combination medication darunavir/cobicistat (Prezcobix, Rezolsta),[10][11] and in the fixed-dose combination medication darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (Symtuza).[12][13]
