	Norvir - The Inside Word
		Norvir is one of the most potent of the currently available protease inhibitors.
		Due to tolerability issues and other problems, including transaminase and lipid elevations, Norvir is rarely used as the only protease inhibitor and now is used mainly as a booster of other protease inhibitors in the regimen.
		Another drawback to Norvir is the significant number of drugs that cannot be taken with it or that come with harsh warnings regarding co-administration.

	ACRIA Update Spring 2001: Seeing Double: A Tale of Dual Protease Inhibitors
		When Norvir and Fortovase are combined, researchers have determined that the safest dose for both drugs is 400 mg taken twice a day.
		In this case, a low dose of Norvir (usually two 100 mg capsules twice a day) is added to the Crixivan (reduced from two pills three times a day to two pills twice a day), a minor change that has been shown to help people with low-level Crixivan resistance regain control over their viral load.
		And while it's true that Norvir can be used to radically increase the amount of other PIs in the blood-to the point that they will overcome highly-resistant virus-the risk of side effects must be considered.

	AEGiS-Chicago Tribune: Abbott's Norvir receipts to climb: Result of sharp increase in AIDS drug price; firm says it ...
		The Norvir controversy comes amid growing public concern about how drug companies price their products and how insurance companies, employers and government agencies pay for them.
		Revenue from the drug had tailed off in recent years as Norvir descended from the top tier of AIDS medicines because of side effects at a commonly prescribed 1,200-milligram dose.
		Although Norvir is far cheaper than new drugs such as Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.'s Reyataz, critics say Abbott has made its own top-tier protease inhibitor Kaletra even less expensive than rivals at $18.78 a day.

		Norvir, Abbott's protease inhibitor, was approved to be taken at 600mg bid (2x a day), based on a large study showing a survival benefit in PWAs with less than 100 CD4s.
		The main problem is that Norvir has an extremely tiny 'therapeutic window.' This means that 400mg twice a day didn't seem to be of clinical benefit and more than 600mg twice a day was not tolerated (not that a lot of people can't even take 600mg).
		Norvir was approved by the FDA at 600mg bid, not because it was the most effective dose, but because it is the maximum that is tolerated.

	Abbott Laboratories Increases Norvir Price Fivefold
		Norvir, originally approved in 1996 and with estimated sales of over $1.3 billion to date, is widely used in small doses to "boost" the effect of other protease inhibitors, and the new price will greatly increase the cost of several widely used treatments.

		On December 18, 2003, the HIV Medicine Association asked Abbott to "reconsider the recent 500 percent price increase of ritonavir (Norvir®), a drug which as you know is necessary to the success of virtually all protease inhibitor combinations for the treatment of HIV infection.
