Common pack: 60 tablets

What Are Emletra Tablets Used For?

Emletra is used as part of antiretroviral treatment for HIV infection. Lopinavir belongs to the protease-inhibitor class and interferes with HIV protease, an enzyme required for the virus to produce mature viral particles. Ritonavir helps increase lopinavir exposure by slowing its metabolism.

The combination therefore helps reduce HIV replication and supports control of the infection when used according to an appropriate HIV treatment regimen. Emletra does not cure HIV, and treatment should be continued according to the healthcare professional's instructions.

How Should Emletra Be Taken?

Emletra should be taken only according to the dosage and schedule prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. Depending on the prescribed regimen and formulation, administration instructions may vary.

Do not change the dose, stop treatment, or combine Emletra with another medicine without professional advice. Consistent adherence to prescribed antiretroviral treatment is important for maintaining viral control.

Patients should inform their doctor or pharmacist about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, supplements and herbal preparations they use because lopinavir and ritonavir can interact with other medicines.

Possible Side Effects

Some people taking lopinavir/ritonavir may experience:

Diarrhoea

Nausea or vomiting

Abdominal discomfort

Headache

Dizziness

Changes in blood lipid levels

Increased liver enzymes

Side effects can vary between individuals. Seek medical advice if symptoms are persistent, severe or unusual.
