DAPIVIRINE vaginal ring

Full Name

Dapivirine Vaginal Ring (DPV-VR)

Therapeutic Action

Antiretrovial, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI).

By blocking reverse transcriptase, dapivirine, which is released from the silicone ring at the site of potential infection in the vagina, stops the virus from multiplying and spreading in the body if the woman is exposed to the virus.

Indications

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) of HIV-1 infection during vaginal intercourse in HIV-uninfected women aged 18 years and above in combination with safer sex practices when oral PrEP is not/cannot be used or is not available.

To be provided along with other HIV prevention methods, diagnosis and treatment of STIs, and contraception options.
