Lopinavir stops the HIV-1 protease enzyme from cleaving viral precursor proteins, a step required to form mature, infectious virus particles. Ritonavir boosts lopinavir by inhibiting its metabolism, which maintains higher lopinavir blood concentrations. Kaletra is contraindicated in severe hepatic impairment, in people with hypersensitivity to its components, and with rifampicin. Pancreatitis and hepatotoxicity are serious side effects that require immediate medical attention. Consistent adherence helps limit drug resistance. Other interactions include St John’s wort, statins and oral contraceptives. Liver function should be monitored.
