New guide available for AIDS treatment
Protease inhibitors have changed the face of AIDS treatment. The powerful new class of drugs has demonstrated a remarkable ability to reverse the devastating effects of the disease and has allowed some former hospice patients to actually return to work.
However, the drugs must be taken in complex, often confusing combinations, with little room for error. Any deviation from the optimum schedule, dosage, and combinations can fuel a deadly surge in drug-resistant strains of HIV.
The Protease Inhibitor Reference Manual is a 300-plus page resource book from American Health Consultants, publisher of Contracep-tive Technology Update. The book gives clinicians and other health care professionals a road map to effective treatment. The manual includes the recently issued Public Health Service guidelines for drug therapy, as well as the latest information on drug interactions, resistance, and research. There are also patient education handouts and background material on the history of protease inhibitors.
