Tipranavir
Treatment, in combination with other antiretroviral agents and co-administered with 200 mg ritonavir twice daily, of HIV infection in antiretroviral experienced adults with: (a) Evidence of HIV replication (viral load greater than 10,000 copies per mL); or (b) CD4 cell counts of less than 500 per cubic millimetre. Patients must have failed previous treatment with, or have resistance to, 3 different antiretroviral regimens which have included: i) at least 1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; and ii) at least 1 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; and iii) at least 2 protease inhibitors.
