Nelfinavir dosing in baby Jun 3, 2002 Dear Dr. Katherine, Back on November 20, 2001, you recommended a Nelfinavir dosing of 55-65 mg/kg/dose given every 12 hours for young infants. Do you still recommend this dosing? Baby is now 8 months old, recieving AZT (240mg/m2), 3TC (4mg/kg) and Nelfinavir (~60mg/kg) every 12 hours for all. Regimine is well tolerated. Thank you for any more advice. |

Response from Dr. Luzuriaga
 Yes, that is the recommended dose range for nelfinavir in this age group. It is usually well-tolerated and I'm happy to hear that your baby is tolerating it well. My only other advice would be to follow HIV RNA levels every 3 months or so to be sure that this regimen is continuing to control the virus. |
