Ritocom (Lopinavir & Ritonavir)

The Indian pharmaceutical company Hetero manufactures the antiretroviral drug Ritocom, based on 200 mg Lopinavir and 50 mg Ritonavir. This combination of active substances does an excellent job of preventing the development and spread of the human immunodeficiency virus. This drug is a quality generic German Kaletra (Kaletra) from AbbVie Deutschland.

Its effectiveness is due to the property of lopinavir to block HIV protease. And ritonavir, in turn, is able to increase the concentration of lopinavir in the blood by inhibiting its metabolism in the patient's liver. Thus, the virus, being immature, becomes incapable of infecting the surrounding people. And it makes the HIV carrier a safe and full member of society.
