Mechanism of action

Atazanavir works by binding to the protease enzyme, which is essential for the maturation of viral particles. By inhibiting this enzyme, atazanavir prevents the virus from replicating and reduces the viral load in the body. Ritonavir, a booster, is used in combination to increase the levels of atazanavir in the body.
