Zerit + Kaletra vs. Emtriva + Kaletra Apr 15, 2004 After one year of treatment with Zerit + Kaletra + Covaricil I started showing lipoatrophy on my face. I asked the doc to change my regimen, but he only replaced Zerit with Emtriva. Is that good enough to limit the development of lipoatrophy or should I also replace Kaletra? What would you suggest replacing Kaletra with? My VL is undetectable and CD4 of about 600. Thanks, GB |

Response from Dr. Moyle
 Coviracil and Emtriva are the same thing. So I am a littel confused. Are you just taking emtriva+ kaletra? Generally we need 3 drugs to treat HIV so just dropping d4T is a bit risky. Generally it would be replaced with either abacavir or tenofovir Replacement of the Kaletra with atazanavir/ritonavir may also be a good option in the long term regards Graeme Moyle |
