Additional Information
Why is this medication prescribed
Saquinavir is used in combination with other medications to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in patients with or without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Saquinavir is in a class of antiviral medications called protease (pro' tee ace) inhibitors. It works by slowing the spread of HIV infection in the body. Saquinavir is not a cure and may not decrease the number of HIV-related illnesses. Saquinavir does not prevent the spread of HIV to other people.
Other uses for this medicine
Saquinavir is also used (as an alternative to indinavir) to treat health-care workers and other individuals exposed to HIV infection after accidental contact with HIV-contaminated blood, tissues, or other body fluids. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this medication for your condition.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What other information should I know
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests before and during treatment to check your body's response to saquinavir.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
