Kaletra is used for treating HIV, which leads to AIDS or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Remember that this drug does not cure HIV or AIDS, but can also relieve its symptoms. Being anti-viral drugs, Ritonavir and Lopinavir work by preventing HIV viruses from multiplying inside the patient’s body, so that the symptoms are kept under control.
Usually, an adult patient will be advised to take one Kaletra 50/200mg tablet two times a day. However, the dosage can vary depending on your medical condition and your response to the treatment. You can take Kaletra tablets with or without food. You will have to swallow the tablet whole, without breaking, chewing or crushing it.
Your doctor will want to take regular tests in order to monitor your liver function. Visit your doctor regularly and do not miss any scheduled appointments. You may also need to give blood tests regularly.
Inform your doctor beforehand if you have a liver disease, heart rhythm disorder, heart disease, pancreas problem, long QT syndrome, diabetes, bleeding disorder or hypokalemia.
Kaletra patients can commonly experience stomach upset, diarrhea, vomiting, mild nausea, mild skin rash, tiredness, weakness, headache or changes in location or shape of body fat, especially on the legs, arms, face, waist, neck and breasts.
