Brand Name: Ritocom
Composition: Lopinavir, Ritonavir
Mechanism of Action:
HIV protease is an enzyme that the virus employs to produce functioning viral particles, and lopinavir is the main protease inhibitor that directly blocks it. Ritonavir, a protease inhibitor as well, is added to this combination at smaller dosages mainly to increase Lopinavir's efficacy. This is due to Ritonavir's inhibition of the CYP3A4 enzyme, which slows down Lopinavir's metabolism and raises its plasma levels, hence boosting its antiviral efficacy.
Uses:
HIV-1 Infection
Dosage and Administration:
Lopinavir and Ritonavir are better absorbed when Ritocom pills are taken with food. Depending on the patient's medical conditions or other medications they are taking, the precise dosage may change.
