Treatment Summary
Atazanavir (formerly known as BMS-232632) is a medication used to treat HIV infection. It is part of a class of drugs called protease inhibitors. Atazanavir is different from other protease inhibitors as it only needs to be taken once a day and has less of an effect on the patient's cholesterol levels. It is always used with other HIV medications. The FDA approved atazanavir in 2003.

How Reyataz Affects Patients
Atazanavir is a drug that works against Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). It blocks an enzyme called HIV-1 protease, which is necessary for the virus to form and spread. Atazanavir should be used with other anti-HIV drugs in order to be effective. It is similar but different from other protease inhibitors and other antiretroviral drugs currently available.
How Reyataz works in the body
Atazanavir targets the HIV-1 virus and stops it from forming mature virions. It does this by blocking the active site of the HIV-1 protease, which is responsible for the processing of the virus' proteins. Atazanavir does not work against the HIV-2 virus.
