I'd sure love to give up Norvir. I just hope no other side effects pop up instead.

I think that stuff should be banned, now I can have a normal looking belly again, my ID Doctor thinks Norvir is the root of all of my body evils , and the way I look  she even wants to STOP the Norvir...

Hiya,

is that possible after stopping Norvir- belly gets back to norm? asking because I have the same problem (pregnant men) I'm off the Norvir for about 3 months, it did get a bit smaller but still is hard, at one point I thought is getting bigger but I think that could be something with insulin,my doc. took my blood to check it out, must say I would be very happy if there is a hope to get rid of it , effects my self-esteem- big time.
anyways please MORE and MORE new better meds.

Mim was on this med, too (I knew it as Ritonovir) for quite a while as an infant.  Why are they getting rid of it?

I was still waiting on the Norvir tab so I didn't have to take that damned capsule anymore. Now it's looking like I might have some choices to make in the future: norvir tabs, GS-9350 or SPI-452. As long as ONE of them won't make me puke, I'll be happy.

No one's getting rid of it.  I'm just predicting no one will take it anymore once better boosters come out.

There are a few drugs like that, once they come off patent, they squash them because they are no longer in demand instead of going to a generic brand.  I have read an article recently, I don't want to speak out of turn, but I understand that is happening.  I am however grateful that newer better drugs are becoming available.  Makes things easier for all of us.  D

I'll see about getting on a clinical trial for this as soon as one is available, at least in P2

Sorry for the misunderstanding, Peter.
