Cobicistat, sold under the brand name Tybost, is a medication used to treat HIV/AIDS. It is often used to boost the effects of atazanavir or darunavir. It is taken by mouth. Additionally it is available as part of a number of combination medications.

Common side effects include jaundice, nausea, and rash. Use is not recommended in pregnancy. Use is not recommended in those with severe liver problems. It has a number of important medication interactions. It works by blocking the action of a group of liver enzymes called CYP3A; thereby slowing the breakdown of atazanavir or darunavir.

Cobicistat was approved for medical use in the United States in 2012 and Europe in 2013. In the United Kingdom a month of medication costs the NHS about £21 as of 2021. This amount in the United States costs about 270 USD.
