LOPINAVIR (LPV) / RITONAVIR (r)

Therapeutic Action

Fixed-dose combination (FDC) of two antiretrovirals, protease inhibitors (PI)

Indications

HIV infection, in combination with other antiretrovirals

Instructions for use

Granules in sachet and 100mg/25mg tablets are intended for paediatric use.

Pour the granules into a small amount of breast milk, water or soft foods and administer immediately (within 2 hours of preparation max.).

Precautions for Use

Pellets-in-a-capsule and oral solutions became non-standard according to 2021 WHO list for antiretroviral drugs for children:

  • granules in sachet can be given to children from the age of two weeks (instead of three months) and are easier to administer than pellets in capsule.
  • with increasing use of integrase inhibitor–based regimens and a preference for granules, oral solution should no longer be required.

Storage
