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
