متن کاملImpact of Switch to Fosamprenavir and Addition of Lovaza® for Treatment of Hypertriglyceridemia in HIV-Infected Subjects on Antiretroviral Therapy
Background: Managing hypertriglyceridemia in HIV-infected patients often requires multiple pharmacologic strategies. Many protease inhibitors (PIs), one of 6 classes of drugs used to treat HIV, have been associated with hypercholesterolemia and drug interactions. For this study, we examined a dual strategy to manage hypertriglyceridemia in HIVinfected patient taking PIs: 1) switching patients t...
