See: Quad (Stribild).
Cobicistat is a PK (pharmacokinetic) booster that is used to increase levels of some other HIV meds. It is similar to ritonavir when that drug boosts some protease inhibitors. Unlike ritonavir, cobicistat does not directly work against HIV.
Currently cobicistat is only available as part of the 4-in-1 tablet Quad. In this formulation, 150 mg of cobicistat is used to boost the integrase inhibitor elvitegravir.
Quad was approved in the USA in 2012 but is not currently licensed in the UK.
