El sulfato de indinavir es el principio activo del Crixivan, inhibidor de proteasa, que [...] parece que puede reducir la carga viral hasta en 99.9% en combinación con AZT y 3TC en la gran mayoría de pacientes. [Esta reducción] permite que las células CD4 se recuperen [notablemente], aumentando la sobrevida y la calidad de vida de las personas que viven con VIH. 1, record 1, Spanish, - sulfato%20de%20indinavir

Saquinavir is a protease inhibitor. Protease inhibitors are a class of anti-HIV drugs that work by blocking a part of HIV called protease. When protease is blocked, or inhibited, HIV makes copies of itself that can’t infect new cells. 3, record 2, English, - saquinavir

Recent media reports have painted a relentlessly gloomy picture of the status of AIDS drug development. Yet much useful information on treatment emerged at the 10th International Conference on AIDS in Yokohama, Japan(August 7-12, 1994). Encouraging treatment developments presented in Yokohama include the following : Recombinant human growth hormone therapy significantly increases weight gain as represented by fat-free lean body mass among people with AIDS-related wasting. AZT treatment dramatically reduces the rate of HIV transmission from mother to infant. Acyclovir co-treatment with anti-HIV therapy significantly increases survival time among people with AIDS. Oral ganciclovir appears to be an effective primary prophylaxis for cytomegalovirus disease. The protease inhibitor drug saquinavir reduces viral load and increases CD4 cell counts significantly more when used in a triple combination with AZT and ddC compared to 2 double combinations(AZT plus ddC or saquinavir plus AZT). Quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and branched chain DNA(bDNA) testing for measuring HIV load is expected to become a major new tool to help guide individual treatment decisions and to evaluate anti-HIV therapies in clinical studies. 1, record 3, English, - AIDS%20drug
