Lopinavirdosage

Tablets: May be taken with or without food, swallowed whole and not chewed, broken, or crushed. Oral solution: must be taken with food. KALETRA oral solution is not recommended for use with polyurethane feeding tubes due to potential incompatibility. Feeding tubes composed of silicone or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) can be used. Adults: Total recommended daily dosage is 800/200 mg given once or twice daily. KALETRA can be given as once daily or twice daily regimen. See Full Prescribing Information for details. KALETRA once daily dosing regimen is not recommended in:

Adult patients with three or more of the following lopinavir resistance-associated substitutions: L10F/I/R/V, K20M/N/R, L24I, L33F, M36I, I47V, G48V, I54L/T/V, V82A/C/F/S/T, and I84V.

In combination with carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or phenytoin.

In combination with efavirenz, nevirapine, or nelfinavir.

In pregnant women. Pediatric Patients (14 days and older): KALETRA once daily dosing regimen is not recommended in pediatric patients. Twice daily dose is based on body weight or body surface area. Concomitant Therapy in Adults and Pediatric Patients: Dose adjustments of KALETRA may be needed when co-administering with efavirenz, nevirapine, or nelfinavir. KALETRA oral solution should not be administered to neonates before a postmenstrual age (first day of the mother’s last menstrual period to birth plus the time elapsed after birth) of 42 weeks and a postnatal age of at least 14 days has been attained Pregnancy: 400/100 mg twice daily in pregnant patients with no documented lopinavir-associated resistance substitutions. There are insufficient data to recommend a KALETRA dose for pregnant patients with any documented KALETRA-associated resistance substitutions. No dose adjustment of KALETRA is required for patients during the postpartum period. BSA

2.1 General

Administration Recommendations KALETRA tablets may be taken with or without food. Swallow KALETRA tablets whole. Do not chew, break, or crush KALETRA tablets. KALETRA oral solution must be taken with food.

2.2 Administering

Oral Solution by Feeding Tube Because KALETRA oral solution contains ethanol and propylene glycol, it is not recommended for use with polyurethane feeding tubes due to potential incompatibility. Feeding tubes that are compatible with ethanol and propylene glycol, such as silicone and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) feeding tubes, can be used for administration of KALETRA oral solution. Follow instructions for use of the feeding tube to administer the medicine.

2.3 Dosage Recommendations in

Adults Give KALETRA in once daily or twice daily dosing regimen at dosages noted in Tables 1 and 2. KALETRA once daily dosing regimen is not recommended in: Adult patients with three or more of the following lopinavir resistance-associated substitutions: L10F/I/R/V, K20M/N/R, L24I, L33F, M36I, I47V, G48V, I54L/T/V, V82A/C/F/S/T, and I84V. In combination with carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or phenytoin. In combination with efavirenz, nevirapine, or nelfinavir. In pediatric patients younger than 18 years of age. In pregnant women.

2.4 Dosage Recommendations in

Pediatric Patients KALETRA tablets and oral solution are not recommended for once daily dosing in pediatric patients younger than 18 years of age. Administer the dose of the oral solution using the calibrated cup (supplied) or oral dosing syringe. KALETRA 100/25 mg tablets should be considered only in children who have reliably demonstrated the ability to swallow the intact tablet. KALETRA oral solution is not recommended in neonates before a postmenstrual age (first day of the mother’s last menstrual period to birth plus the time elapsed after birth) of 42 weeks and a postnatal age of at least 14 days has been attained. KALETRA oral solution contains approximately 42% (v/v) ethanol and approximately 15% (w/v) propylene glycol. Total amounts of ethanol and propylene glycol from all medicines that are to be given to pediatric patients 14 days to 6 months of age should be taken into account in order to avoid toxicity from these excipients. Pediatric Dosage Calculations Calculate the appropriate dose of KALETRA for each individual pediatric patient based on body weight (kg) or body surface area (BSA) to avoid underdosing or exceeding the recommended adult dose. Body surface area (BSA) can be calculated as follows: The KALETRA dose can be calculated based on weight or BSA: Based on Weight: Patient Weight (kg) × Prescribed lopinavir dose (mg/kg) = Administered lopinavir dose (mg) Based on BSA: Patient BSA (m 2 ) × Prescribed lopinavir dose (mg/m 2 ) = Administered lopinavir dose (mg) The KALETRA oral solution volume (mL) can be determined as follows: Volume of KALETRA solution (mL) = Administered lopinavir dose (mg) ÷ 80 (mg/mL) Oral Solution Dosage Recommendation in Pediatric Patients 14 Days to Less Than 18 Years: Table 4 summarizes the recommended daily dosing regimen for pediatric patients 14 days to less than 18 years of age using the oral solution. KALETRA administered in combination with efavirenz, nevirapine, or nelfinavir in patients younger than 6 months of age is not recommended. Do not exceed the recommended adult daily dose of 400/100 mg (5mL) twice daily in pediatric patients. Table 4.

2.5 Dosage Recommendations in

Pregnancy Administer 400/100 mg of KALETRA twice daily in pregnant patients with no documented lopinavir-associated resistance substitutions. Once daily KALETRA dosing is not recommended in pregnancy. There are insufficient data to recommend dosing in pregnant women with any documented lopinavir-associated resistance substitutions. No dosage adjustment of KALETRA is required for patients during the postpartum period. Avoid use of KALETRA oral solution in pregnant women.
