The Kaletra Difference

Living with HIV means living with new responsibilities. Though, at times, it might seem overwhelming, there are medicines, people, and resources available to help you take control of your life and manage HIV.

You're not alone in the battle against HIV. KALETRA® (lopinavir/ritonavir) can help you manage your HIV. KALETRA is always used in combination with other anti-HIV medicines to treat people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. KALETRA is a combination of two medicines. They are lopinavir and ritonavir. KALETRA is a type of medicine called an HIV protease (PRO-tee-ase) inhibitor. KALETRA is for adults and for children age 6 months and older.

Once daily dosing of KALETRA in combination with other anti-HIV medicines is not recommended for people with previous HIV treatment and has not been evaluated in children 6 months to 12 years of age.

KALETRA can help keep your viral load Long-term Undetectable (LU)*.

  • A Long-term Undetectable (LU) viral load* in patients new to therapy
  • Increased CD4 T-cell counts

The benefits of KALETRA include:

  • Once daily dosing in adult patients new to therapy
  • Can be taken with or without food
  • No refrigeration needed**

    * Kaletra in combination has been proven to keep HIV Longterm Undetectable through 204 weeks in patients new to therapy. (Undetectable = HIV RNA <50 copies/mL)
    Average increase of 440 CD4 T-cells per cubic mL of blood
    In an ongoing clinical study, the once-daily dose of Kaletra in combination has been evaluated at 48 weeks and is not recommended for treatment experienced patients.
    ** Exposure to high humidity outside the original container for longer than 2 weeks is not recommended.

If you are unable to take KALETRA in tablet form, KALETRA is also available as an oral solution. Ask your doctor if KALETRA oral solution is right for you.
