Side Effects of Maraviroc: An Introduction

As with any medicine, side effects are possible with maraviroc (Selzentry™). However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.
