Sobre monoterapia
Jan 21, 2008

Me gustaria saber que sabe sobre la monoterapia, he leido que investigadores españoles han hecho un estudio aplicando un solo farmaco para controlar el virus, no la actual terapia varios farmacos, han conseguido resultados prometores y eficaces

Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad

Hola,

Tienes razón: un estudio realizado por un investigador madrileño examinó el uso de Kaletra (lopinavir potenciado con ritonavir) como monoterapia y sí consiguió algunos resultados prometedores. Sin embargo, estos resultados se deben estar considerados como muy preliminares y ya no son aplicables al tratamiento rutinario del VIH. Es decir no es de ninguna manera el patrón oro. Por ahora, la recomendación de por lo menos tres antirretrovirales activos, si es posible, permanece.

Dr. Steve
