Lexiva Oral Notes

Ask your doctor how you can lower your risk of heart disease (for example - weight loss, controlling high blood pressure, stop smoking).

Patients treated with fosamprenavir may continue to acquire "opportunistic" infections associated with HIV. This medication does not prevent the transmission of HIV to others through sexual contact or blood. Practice "safe sex" (including the use of latex condoms) to minimize the risk of transmitting the virus to others.

Do not share this medication with others.

Laboratory and/or medical tests (e.g., liver function, triglycerides/cholesterol, white blood cell counts-WBC, blood sugar) should be performed periodically to monitor your progress or check for side effects. Consult your doctor for more details.
