About Lopinavir & Ritonavir Tablet

Lopinavir & Ritonavir Tablet belongs to a class of drugs called antiretrovirals used in the treatment of HIV infection. Lopinavir & Ritonavir Tablet helps in decreasing the chance of developing AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).

Lopinavir & Ritonavir Tablet is a combination of two antiretroviral drugs, namely: Lopinavir and Ritonavir. Lopinavir works by inhibiting the working of a protease enzyme that is essential for the reproduction of HIV. Thereby, it prevents the production of the new virus.
