Norvir (Ritonavir) is prescribed as part of antiretroviral therapy to treat HIV-1 infection and is used together with other antiviral medicines. It is a protease inhibitor that works by preventing the virus from multiplying in the body.

What does it do?

Norvir (Ritonavir) works as a protease inhibitor, targeting the HIV virus. Protease is an enzyme that HIV uses to produce essential proteins for its replication. Norvir blocks the activity of this enzyme, leading to the formation of defective viruses that cannot infect new cells.

How should I take it?

Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully when taking Norvir as it must be used in combination with other anti-retroviral medications and be taken with meals. The usual dose for adults 600mg twice a day and maybe reduced in titration dose schedule.

What if I missed a dose?

Missing doses of Norvir (Ritonavir) may reduce its effectiveness over time, making it crucial to take each dose as scheduled without skipping. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.

What are the special precautions before taking Norvir?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history.

• Take Norvir only if it has been prescribed by your healthcare provider and be sure to follow their instructions precisely.
• Tell your doctor about your medical history, particularly if you have liver problems, heart conditions, diabetes, or bleeding disorders like hemophilia.
• Let your healthcare provider know if you're allergic to ritonavir or any of its ingredients.
• Norvir may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives. Use an additional or alternative form of birth control.
