Simplification of Antiretroviral Therapy: A Good Choice for Our Patients and the Sustainability of Our Health Care System
Objective
To describe the efficacy, safety, compliance and cost savings of lopinavir/ritonavir monotherapy.
Method
Observational, descriptive and retrospective study evaluating monotherapy. Adherence was calculated using an objective method. We estimated the direct costs of dispensing non-triple therapy.
Results
We identified 17 patients. Interval adherence was >95% in 9 patients, 90%–95% in 2 patients, 90%–85% in 2 patients, and less than 85% in 4 patients. Viral load was undetectable during weeks 12, 24, 36, and 48, except in 2 patients. The CD4 count in most analytical tests remained at >350 cells/ml, only 1 patient had a lower figure. The average savings was 4819 Euros/patient/year (range 1116–8700).
Conclusions
In selected patients, monotherapy can be a cost-effective treatment option.
