The DOVATO Difference
DOVATO is designed differently, helping you stay undetectable* with
fewer medicines in 1 pill
What makes DOVATO different?
DOVATO is a once-a-day complete treatment that delivers powerful results† and is designed differently, with fewer medicines. Take DOVATO exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.
No other complete HIV pill
contains fewer medicines
than DOVATO.
Unlike most HIV treatments that
have
3 or 4 medicines, DOVATO
has just
2 medicines in 1 pill.
DOVATO is as effective at
helping
you stay undetectable
with fewer
medicines† in your
body—today
and tomorrow.
Results may vary.
Undetectable means the amount of HIV in the blood is below the level that can be measured by a lab test.
Based on data from the GEMINI 1 & 2 studies (patients new to treatment) and TANGO study (patients replacing their current HIV treatment). DOVATO was compared with a regimen containing either 3 or 4 medicines, measuring either the percentage of patients with an undetectable viral load (<50 copies per mL) or the percentage of patients without an undetectable viral load (≥50 copies per mL).
How do I take DOVATO?
Once a day
Any time of day, around
the same time of day
With or without food
What do the studies say?
If you are considering switching treatment or are new to treatment, DOVATO is clinically proven to be as effective as a regimen containing 3 or 4 medicines. See details below.
Switching to
DOVATO
New to HIV
Treatment
DOVATO was Proven
to help people already on treatment stay
undetectable as effectively as an HIV regimen
containing 3 or 4 medicines‡
Less than 1% had a detectable viral load (50 or more copies per mL)
with DOVATO or a 3- or 4-drug regimen‡ at 1 year. Similar results
were seen at 3 years.
0 Resistance
Over 3 years of clinical trials, no patients who
switched to DOVATO developed HIV resistance
Results showed that DOVATO works as well as a 3- or 4-drug regimen in diverse
groups of adults, regardless of age, sex, race, or CD4 T-cell count.
Side Effects
In this study, 15% of patients taking DOVATO versus 5% taking a 3- or 4-drug regimen‡ experienced side effects over a 3-year period.
The majority of side effects were mild in severity.
The most common side effects were:
- Taking DOVATO: weight gain (3%), trouble sleeping (2%), nausea (1%), diarrhea (1%), and anxiety (1%).
- Taking a 3- or 4-drug regimen‡: weight gain (2%), nausea (<1%), diarrhea (<1%), and anxiety (<1%).
Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)–based 3- or 4-drug regimen.
Proven effective in people new to HIV treatment
In two combined studies, DOVATO was
proven to help people new to treatment
reach and stay undetectable (less than 50
copies per mL)
as effectively as a regimen
containing 3 medicines.§
The Majority
of people who took DOVATO reached and
remained undetectable over a 3-year period
Side Effects
Across the two combined studies, 20% of patients taking DOVATO versus 27% taking a
3-drug regimen§ experienced side effects
over a 3-year period.
The most common side effects were:
- Taking DOVATO: headache (3%), nausea (2%), diarrhea (2%), trouble
sleeping (2%), tiredness (2%), anxiety (2%), and dizziness (1%). - Taking a 3-drug regimen§: headache (4%), nausea (6%), diarrhea (3%), trouble
sleeping (3%), tiredness (2%), anxiety (1%), and dizziness (2%).
Dolutegravir + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/
emtricitabine.
“When I found out I may be able to stay undetectable with fewer medicines, I talked to my doctor about switching to DOVATO.”
