My partner just started taking ritonavir in the liquid form and it
tastes really bad. Furthermore, after taking it, he becomes very
nauseous and weak. We would like to hear from people with
similar experiences that might have tips for relieving these side
effects. I am Dave and I can be reached at dnancarrow@jps.net and
nancard@concert.com. My partner is Cal and he can be reached at
yourpalcal@jps.net.

I read somewhere of someone taking jalapenos peppers before
taking the Norvir--he eats a couple of slices of jalapeno peppers.
Then he takes the Norvir with a spoon of peanut butter and/or a
Reese's peanut butter cup. I try this sometimes. Other times I just
suck on some sour candies or coat my mouth with peanut butter or
chocolate.

I sympathize with the norvir nightmare. I had to stop due to horrible
side effects: vomiting, weakness, etc. But as for the taste, this is
going to sound really stupid, but you could suck the norvir up in a
turkey baster (yes! a turkey baster!) and stick the baster way way
back in your throat and squeeze. It's weird, but worked for me. Or
you could go and buy empty gel caps at a pharmacy and "inject" the
norvir into them...I did that for a while and it's great: no taste at all!
However, some doctors say that it may cause absorption problems,
some say not, so check with your doc. Or still yet, coat your tongue
with Nutella, didn't work for me, but some swear by it. Above all,
GOOD LUCK! ;-)

I take it like a shot. I put the ritonivir dose in a small pill bottle, fill
it with milk and drink it as I would a shot of alcohol. I find very
little aftertaste this way. As for side effects, I've had none.

My partner takes it with chocalate ensure, it helps to cut the taste.
