Dose-finding study of a once-daily indinavir/ritonavir regimen
Article Abstract:
Researchers determined the best combination dosage of the protease inhibitors indinavir and ritonavir so they could be taken once a day rather than two or three times a day. This is possible because ritonavir slows the metabolism of indinavir, making it last longer in the body.

A retrospective, cohort-based survey of patients using twice-daily indinavir + ritonavir combinations: pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy
Article Abstract:
Taking indinavir in combination with ritonavir twice a day appears to be as effective as taking indinavir alone three times a day. Ritonavir makes indinavir last longer in the body, allowing patients to reduce the risk of side effects.

Assessment of drug-drug interactions between tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and the nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors nevirapine and efavirenz in HIV-infected patients
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to assess the interactions between the drugs, namely tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and the two nonnucleoside reverse inhibitors, nevirapine and efavirenz, which are used in the treatment of HIV-infected patients. The data obtained from the study demonstrates that these drugs, which can be co-administered without any need for dose adjustments, do not affect the plasma levels of the inhibitors.
