Lopinavir/ritonavir plus lamivudine and abacavir or zidovudine dose ratios for paediatric fixed-dose combinations
This work was aimed to develop appropriate drug ratios and dosing for each fixed-dose oral combinations
Abstract
Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) is available in a liquid formulation far from ideal for treatment of children in resource poor settings. Flexible, low-cost, solid, fixed-dose oral combinations (FDC) of LPV/r with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) (LPV/ABC/3TC and LPV/ZDV/3TC) is needed to improve both management and adherence of children. This work was aimed to develop appropriate drug ratios and dosing for each FDCs.
