Pifeltro is a prescription medication used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection in adult patients who have not previously received HIV-1 treatment. Pifeltro should be taken in combination with other medicines that also treat HIV-1. Pifeltro belongs to a group of drugs called retrovirals. Pifeltro acts by inhibiting HIV-1 replication by inhibiting an enzyme needed by the virus to replicate, this enzyme is called HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.

Pifeltro is a single product containing doravirine. It comes in tablet form and should be taken by mouth once a day, if taken alone. If taken with rifabutin, increase to one table by mouth twice daily. This medication is swallowed whole, with or without food. 

Common side effects include nausea, dizziness, headache, fatigue, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and abnormal dreams.
