How Lexiva Affects Patients
Fosamprenavir is a drug that breaks down into the anti-HIV medication amprenavir. The breakdown of fosamprenavir helps to slowly release amprenavir, which reduces the amount of pills a patient needs to take.
How Lexiva works in the body
Fosamprenavir is a drug that helps fight HIV. It is converted by the body into amprenavir, which stops the virus from replicating. It does this by blocking a protein that the virus needs to process its genetic material. Without this protein, the virus cannot create mature, infectious particles.
