Title: Reyataz
Post by: Lido on January 10, 2007, 12:49:30 pm

Happy New Year Evryone
What is the recommeded dosage for Reyataz? I have been taking 1 reyataz, 1 norvir, 1 Viread every morning and 1 Emtriva in the evening. My previous doctor who started me on this has retired, I got a new doctor last month and she was wondering why i only had 1 reyataz instead of 2, Now she has put me on 2 reyataz, 1 norvir and 1 truvada every morning and that is all of the day.
am just wondering what is the recommened dosage for reyataz.

Your new doc is right...

The normal (approved) dose for boosted Reyataz is 300mg (2 x 150mg capsules) with 100mg Norvir once a day with food.

Lido,
As Matt said, two 150mg of Reyataz plus 100mg of Norvir or two 200mg of Reyataz is the correct dosage.  I started on 400mg of Reyataz and my doc switched me to 2x 150mg plus 100mg of Norvir.  Better VL and T-cell results.  Just make sure you take it with food and at least +/- 2-3 hours at the same time each day to keep the amount of meds in your system.  The nice thing is low side effects.

Cheers!
