Kaletra Online Prescription

Kaletra - Overview

Kaletra is a medication generally used in conjunction with other therapies in the treatment of HIV-1 infections. People who need a Kaletra prescription will soon be able to use Push Health to connect with a local medical provider who can prescribe Kaletra medication when appropriate to do so.

What Is Kaletra Used For?

Kaletra is a medication traditionally prescribed for the treatment of HIV-1 infections in conjunction with other therapies. Kaletra belongs to a class of medications known as HIV-1 protease inhibitor medications. Kaletra is a combination of two drugs - lopinavir and ritonavir. In Kaletra, lopinavir works to reduce replication of the virus by binding to special enzymes known as proteases and blocking the downstream production of additional particles. Ritonavir helps reduce the breakdown of lopinavir by the body, enabling the drug to exert its effects for a longer period of time.

Kaletra - Dose and Price

Kaletra tablets are available as Kaletra 200 mg / 50 mg and Kaletra 100 mg / 25 mg representing the ingredients lopinavir and ritonavir respectively. While Kaletra tablets can be taken without food, Kaletra solution must be taken with food. In adults, the recommended starting dosage is typically Kaletra 800 / 200 mg given once daily and titrated from there depending on the health needs of the patient and the judgement of the prescribing medical provider. After oral adminstration, the active ingredients in Kaletra can be found bound to plasma proteins and elimination primarily occurs through both the urine and the feces. Branded Kaletra is expensive, costing as much as $10 per Kaletra 200 mg / 50 mg tablet at many pharmacies in the United States. Generic Kaletra is available as a solution and is much more affordable than the branded Kaletra tablets. People paying out of pocket should look for Kaletra coupons online or check with their insurance company to see if Kaletra medication will be covered by their insurance.

Can I Buy Kaletra Online?

One cannot simply buy Kaletra online as Kaletra requires a prescription from a licensed medical provider before it can be dispensed in the United States. Given this restriction, Kaletra OTC is not available, either. People who might need a Kaletra medication prescription, including Kaletra generic, will soon be able to use Push Health to connect with a local medical provider who can prescribe Kaletra medication when appropriate to do so.

Kaletra - Side Effects

Kaletra can cause side effects when used and concerns should be discussed with a medical provider and pharmacist prior to use. Side effects that may result from Kaletra medication use include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lipid level abnormalities, liver disease and cardiac arrhythmias. Kaletra use can exacerbate underlying blood glucose abnormalities. Kaletra and alcohol should not be used together. People with a known hypersensitivity to Kaletra or ingredients in the formulation should not use Kaletra tablets.
