Lopinavir ritonavir indications and usage
Introduction
Indications and Usage
Indications and Usage
KALETRA is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients (14 days and older).
The following points should be considered when initiating therapy with KALETRA:
- The use of other active agents with KALETRA is associated with a greater likelihood of treatment response [see Microbiology (12.4) and Clinical Studies (14)].
- Genotypic or phenotypic testing and/or treatment history should guide the use of KALETRA [see Microbiology (12.4)]. The number of baseline lopinavir resistance-associated substitutions affects the virologic response to KALETRA [see Microbiology].[1]
