Fatal hepatotoxicity and pancreatitis have been noted in patients undergoing therapy with lopinavir and patients with an increased baseline risk of these events should be monitored closely throughout therapy. Given its moderate duration of action, once or twice daily dosing is required. An enzyme essential to the HIV viral lifecycle is inhibited by lopinavir. When giving lopinavir to patients taking other medications, use caution as pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic interactions are frequently observed. Lopinavir, like other protease inhibitors, has a tendency to participate in drug interactions.
Observe St. Co-administering St. John's wort to induce CYP3A John's Wort may result in reduced drug plasma concentrations and therapeutic failure. St. John's Wort take while eating. While the tablet formulation can be taken either way, the oral solution formulation must be taken with food.
Can lopinavir be used as PEP?
Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) is an attractive PEP candidate with presumably higher efficacy against HIV than nevirapine or lamivudine, and a higher genetic barrier to resistance selection. It showed an acceptable safety profile for the treatment of very young HIV-infected infants.
How do you take ritonavir and lopinavir?
The combination of lopinavir and ritonavir comes as a tablet and a solution (liquid) to take by mouth. It is usually taken twice a day, but may be taken once a day by certain adults. The solution must be taken with food. The tablets may be taken with or without food.
What are the side effects of lopinavir?
Diarrhea, headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, drowsiness, dizziness, a bad taste in the mouth, and trouble sleeping may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Is KALETRA a lopinavir?
KALETRA (lopinavir/ritonavir) is a co-formulation of lopinavir and ritonavir. Lopinavir is an inhibitor of the HIV protease. As co-formulated in KALETRA, ritonavir inhibits the CYP3A- mediated metabolism of lopinavir, thereby providing increased plasma levels of lopinavir.
What drug class is ritonavir?
Ritonavir is in a class of medications called protease inhibitors. It works by decreasing the amount of HIV in the blood.

Efficacy and safety of once-daily darunavir/ritonavir versus lopinavir/ritonavir in treatment-naive HIV-1-infected patients at week 48. Week 24 efficacy and safety of TMC114/ritonavir in treatment-experienced HIV patients. Pregnancy Studies Crauwels HM, Kakuda TN, Ryan B, et al. ARIEL Violari A, Bologna R, Kumarasamy N, et al.
Study participants were predominantly male (79%). There are two main types of cholesterol: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or ‘bad’ cholesterol (which may put people at risk for heart disease and other serious conditions), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or ‘good’ cholesterol (which helps get rid of LDL). TITAN compared twice daily darunavir/ritonavir (600/100mg) with twice daily lopinavir/ritonavir capsules (the old formulation) (400/100mg), plus a background regimen selected by resistance testing. Around 30% had no previous experience of protease inhibitor treatment. This trend suggests that darunavir is intrinsically more potent, due to its greater barrrier to developing resistance mutations.
To battle the coronavirus emergency, Chinese government and medical experts are publicly backing off-label use of HIV medication Kaletra (Lopinavir/Ritonavir). In its updated clinical guidance, China’s National Health Commission says AbbVie’s fixed-dose HIV drug Kaletra is now recommended as a treatment for pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus known as COVID-19.
Doravirine, sold under the brand name Pifeltro, is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor medication developed by Merck & Co. for use in the treatment of HIV/AIDS.
However, side effects of tipranavir may be more severe than those of other antiretrovirals. Tipranavir should only be taken in combination with ritonavir and other antiretroviral drugs, and is not approved for treatment-naïve patients. Tipranavir (TPV), or tipranavir disodium, is a nonpeptidic protease inhibitor (PI) manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim under the trade name Aptivus / ˈ æ p t ɪ v ə s / AP -tiv-əs. It is administered with ritonavir in combination therapy to treat HIV infection. Tipranavir was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on June 22, 2005, and was approved for pediatric use on June 24, 2008.
