New protease handbook, guidelines are available
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, allowing 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, a 340-page resource book from American Health Consultants, 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. It also features patient education handouts and background material on the history of protease inhibitors.
