Kaletra Related Diarrhea Jan 5, 2007 Hi Docs! It was recently determined that I needed to use Nexium. My doctor changed out my un-boosted Reyataz (which has been effective for many years) with Kaletra. I would like to know what I can do to help with the diarrhea - will this resolve in time? We are awaiting ova/parasite test results. I have only been on the Kaletra for a week. Thanks for your help! Respectfully Yours, Mark |

 There often is more diarrhea with Kaletra than with unboosted Reyataz. Taking the Kaletra with food, increased fiber, calcium supplements, or use of loperamide (Immodium) or Lomotil (diphenoxylate/atropine) will help most patients. Kaletra realted diarrhea often will diminish to tolerable levels over the first 1-2 months (the newer formulation generally has less diarrhea). KH | ||||||||
