    Dolutegravir/rilpivirine, sold under the brand name Juluca, is a combination medication used to treat HIV/AIDS.[1] It is generally only used in people who have been stabilized on other treatments.[4] It may be the only medication a person requires.[1] It is taken by mouth daily with food.[1]

    Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and headache.[1] Other side effects may include allergic reactions, liver problems, and depression.[1] Use in early pregnancy may harm the baby.[1] It contains dolutegravir, an integrase inhibitor, and rilpivirine, a reverse-transcriptase inhibitor.[1]

    The combination was approved for medical use in the United States in 2017 and Europe in 2018.[1][5] In the United Kingdom a month of medication costs the NHS about £700 as of 2021.[6] This amount in the United States is about 2,900 USD.[7]
