Kaletra Information:

Buy Kaletra

Kaletra (Lopinavir/Ritonavir) is primarily used with other antiretroviral medications for treating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in adults and children. It contains a combination of two antiretroviral drugs, Lopinavir and Ritonavir, as active ingredients, which are both in the class of drugs called HIV protease inhibitors. The active ingredients in Kaletra work by inhibiting the action of an enzyme called protease necessary for the virus to replicate and infect new cells. By blocking this enzyme, Kaletra helps to reduce the amount of the virus in the body and slows down the progression of the disease.

Kaletra comes in tablet form (200 mg of lopinavir/50 mg of ritonavir), which should only be taken by mouth. It is usually taken with food to improve absorption and reduce stomach upset. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablets. The usual recommended dose for adults is 400 mg lopinavir and 100 mg ritonavir, taken twice daily. However, it is important to consult your doctor for the appropriate dose as it usually depends on your age, weight, medical condition, and other medications you may be taking. If you miss a dose of Kaletra, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
