Strategies for Nevirapine Initiation in HIV‐Infected Children Taking Pediatric Fixed‐Dose Combination “Baby Pills” in Zambia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

Background.Fixed-dose combination scored dispersible stavudine, lamivudine, and nevirapine minitablets (Triomune Baby and Junior; Cipla Ltd) are simpler and cheaper than liquid formulations and have correct dose ratios for human immunodeficienc virus-infected children. However, they cannot be used for dose escalation (DE) of nevirapine.
