How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (ISENTRESS). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Raltegravir is an HIV-1 antiviral drug [see Microbiology (12.4) ].
Following administration of an oral dose of radiolabeled raltegravir, approximately 51 and 32% of the dose was excreted in feces and urine, respectively.
Effect of Food on Oral Absorption ISENTRESS may be administered with or without food.
