Rilpivirine, sold under the brand name Edurant among others, is a medication used to treat and prevent HIV/AIDS.[7] Specifically it is used together with other antiviral medication for HIV-1.[1] It is taken by mouth.[6]
Common side effects include headache, trouble sleeping, dizziness, nausea, abnormal lipid levels, and liver problems.[1] Other side effects may include drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) and depression.[7] Use during pregnancy appears safe, but as not been well studied.[8] It is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) which blocks the enzyme reverse transcriptase.[1]
Rilpivirine was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2011.[7][1] In the United Kingdom a month of medication costs the NHS about £200 as of 2021.[6] This amount in the United States costs about 1,200 USD.[9]
