What is known about prezista?

Prezista belongs to a group of drugs which are called protease inhibitors. They are primarily used to treat viral infections such as Hepatitis C, and (HIV). They inhibit replication of the virus by shutting down the proteases. Prezista used together with norvir, another anti-virus medicine has been seen to reduce the levels of (HIV) in the blood, and keep it at a lowered level. One way of
taking prezista, and norvir is a single dose of 400mg of prezista, and 100mg of norvir one time a day, and do not forget these pills must be taken with a meal, or at least a full glass of milk. This is the treatment for someone who has never been on any anti-virus drug before, and shows no resistance to prezista.

The other dose is for people who have one or more (HIV) mutations that are resistant to prezista. The dose for these people is two doses of 300mg of prezista, along with two 100mg doses of norvir to be taken at breakfast and then again with an evening meal. It is very important that this medicine is taken with food as it helps with the time release to maintain a constant level of the drug in the patient's body.

Prezista is a good choice for people who have an HIV infection, and who have been on other protease inhibitors that have not worked for them. The United States Department of Health and Human services recommends prezista for use with these patients. During Clinical trials prezista was seen as a good choice for people who did not respond to other protease blockers especially when mixed with other (HIV) drugs that a patients virus was not receptive to.

This is difficult for patients who have the (HIV) virus, and have tried other drug treatments, but can be very useful when looking at patient’s tests, and past results, in deciding how they will react while being treated with prezista.
