  • Do not change your dose or stop taking Ritonavir Solution without checking with your doctor.

  • Ritonavir Solution does not stop the spread of HIV to others through blood or sexual contact. Use barrier methods of birth control (eg, condoms) if you have HIV infection. Do not share needles, injection supplies, or items like toothbrushes or razors.

  • Ritonavir Solution may improve immune system function. This may reveal hidden infections in some patients. Tell your doctor right away if you notice symptoms of infection (eg, fever, sore throat, weakness, cough, shortness of breath) after you start Ritonavir Solution.

  • Ritonavir Solution is not a cure for HIV infection. Patients may still get illnesses and infections associated with HIV. Remain under the care of your doctor.

  • Lab tests, including liver function, and blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, may be performed while you use Ritonavir Solution. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.

  • Ritonavir Solution should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 1 month old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Ritonavir Solution while you are pregnant.
