Ritonavir: Indication, Dosage, Side Effect

Indication:

Ritonavir is mainly used to treat HIV infection. It works by helping control the virus in the body, so the immune system stays stronger and the risk of HIV-related complications is lower. Its most common role today is not as a main HIV medicine but as a "booster"—it increases the levels and effects of other HIV drugs by slowing down how fast they're broken down in the liver. This helps the main drugs work better and longer. It's sometimes also used in combination treatments for other viral infections like COVID-19, but only under specific guidance.

Dosage:                               

Ritonavir is usually given as part of HIV treatment or to boost other antiviral drugs. The typical adult dose when used as a booster is 100 mg once or twice daily, depending on the other medications it's combined with. When used as an antiviral on its own (less common), the dose may be higher, such as 600 mg twice daily, but this is rare now due to side effects. It's taken by mouth, with food, to reduce stomach upset. Dosage may vary based on age, weight, kidney/liver function, and what other drugs the person is taking, so it’s always tailored by a doctor.

Note:

Always take as prescribed by your doctor.

Avoid alcohol and certain other medicines that can interact dangerously.
