Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Dosage depends on your specific condition and weight. Never adjust the dosage yourself.

Dosage Guidelines for Adults

    For HIV infection: The typical dose is 150 mg twice daily. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response to treatment and other medications you’re taking.

The solution should be administered orally. Carefully measure the correct dose using a calibrated measuring device, such as a syringe or oral dosing cup, provided by your pharmacist or doctor.

Dosage Guidelines for Children

Pediatric dosages are determined by weight and the specific condition being treated. Your doctor will provide precise instructions tailored to your child’s needs. Never use adult dosages on children.

Important Administration Notes

Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure even distribution of the medication. Take the medication at approximately the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your bloodstream. Avoid mixing the solution with other liquids unless your doctor specifically directs you to do so. Store the solution at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Check the expiration date on the bottle and discard any medication that is past its expiration date. Report any side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain, to your doctor immediately. Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.

Special Considerations

Kidney or liver impairment may require dosage adjustments. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions you have before starting this medication.
