Drugs: Lopinavir/ritonavir
Lopinavir/ritonavir is a medication combination used primarily to treat HIV infection. Lopinavir is an antiretroviral that inhibits the virus's ability to reproduce, reducing the amount of HIV in the body. Ritonavir boosts lopinavir's effectiveness by slowing its breakdown, allowing it to work longer and at lower doses. Together, they help control HIV infection, improve immune function, and reduce the risk of transmission. This medication is typically prescribed by healthcare providers and should be taken exactly as directed to ensure its effectiveness and reduce side effects or resistance.
