• Metabolism: Lopinavir/ritonavir ( LPV/r) is a cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 substrate and inhibitor with the potential for multiple drug interactions
Lopinavir, a ritonavir analog designed to have a diminished interaction with Val82 in HIV protease, maintains a high The P1060 study was designed as two parallel, randomized clinical trials comparing nevirapine with ritonavir-boosted lopinavir, in addition to zidovudine and lamivudine, in HIV-infected, ART For patients with HIV-1 RNA levels of less than 100,000 copies per milliliter at screening, the NRTI-sparing group had a longer time to virologic failure than the lopinavir–ritonavir group (P=0

Alongside well-established measures of virological success as defined by an undetectable HIV load together with an increase in CD4 T-cell count1,2 there are other drivers of treatment success, which may
They are protease inhibitors used for treating HIV infection

Preferred Initial Regimens in Pregnancy; Drugs or drug combinations are designated as Preferred for therapy during pregnancy when clinical trial data in adults have demonstrated efficacy and durability with acceptable toxicity and ease of use, and pregnancy-specific PK data are available to guide dosing
The combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) can efficiently suppress HIV replication, but the cessation of cART usually results in viral rebound, mostly due to the presence of viral reservoirs
This results in the formation of immature, noninfectious viral particles
Lopinavir is also an inhibitor of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) main protease, which is critical for replication and appears to be highly conserved in SARS-CoV-2
