Kaletra (Lopinavir / Ritonavir), is used to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. This combination drug acts as an antiviral agent by inhibiting the activity of certain proteases of the virus, which prevents it from multiplying in the body. Being a protease inhibitor, Lopinavir suppresses the ability of the virus to reproduce, and Ritonavir increases the concentration of Lopinavir in the blood, increasing its effectiveness. Kaletra is usually used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs to create a treatment regimen for HIV infection.

Epivir (Lamivudine) is an antiviral medication used to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. It belongs to a class of drugs known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Epivir works by inhibiting the replication of HIV in the body, thereby slowing down the progression of the virus. It is often used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs to effectively manage HIV infection and reduce the risk of developing AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). The standard dosage of Epivir is 150mg, and it is typically taken orally once or twice daily.

Sustiva (Efavirenz) is an antiretroviral drug used in the treatment of HIV infection. Sustiva belongs to the class of drugs known as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). It works by inhibiting the replication of the HIV virus in the body, thereby reducing the viral load and slowing down the progression of the disease. Sustiva is often used in combination with other antiretroviral medications as part of a comprehensive HIV treatment regimen. It is typically taken orally once daily on an empty stomach, preferably at bedtime, to minimize potential side effects such as dizziness and drowsiness.
