All symptoms disappeared after stopping the drug. Can I do a rechallenge?

Answer

Hello,

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand your question. Are you asking if you can restart with darunavir? If this is not your question please let me know.

It is possible that this severe reaction means that you are allergic to darunavir or ritonavir (which is used as a booster). If your doctor thinks you are allergic to darunavir, or ritonavir, you should not take these medicines.
