Dosage and Administration Overview
APTIVUS must be co-administered with ritonavir to exert its therapeutic effect. Failure to correctly co-administer APTIVUS with ritonavir will result in plasma levels of tipranavir that will be insufficient to achieve the desired antiviral effect and will alter some drug interactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
- Children should be assessed for their ability to swallow capsules before prescribing APTIVUS capsules [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].
- APTIVUS co-administered with ritonavir tablets must only be taken with meals [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
- APTIVUS is supplied as capsules. APTIVUS capsules must be swallowed whole and must not be opened or chewed.
- Due to the need for co-administration of APTIVUS with ritonavir, please refer to the ritonavir prescribing information.
