  • Title: Freedom of choice.
    Author: Vazquez E.
    Journal: Posit Aware; 1996; 7(3):9, 19. PubMed ID: 11363432.
    Abstract:
    The recent approval of three protease inhibitors introduces a welcome element of choice into HIV treatment programs. Ritonavir (Norvir), indinavir (Crixivan), and saquinavir (Invirase) all prevent HIV from replicating, leading to lower viral loads and a slower disease progression. However, patients must continue taking the drugs once they begin therapy; stopping the treatment or reducing the dosage can lead to resistance. Long term data is not yet available on toxicity or drug interactions. All three drugs are most effective when used in combination therapy.
