Fosamprenavir, sold under the brand name Lexiva and Telzir, is a medication used to treat and prevent HIV/AIDS.[1] It is used together with other medications, including typically a low amount of ritonavir.[1][2] It is taken by mouth.[1]
Common side effects include diarrhea, vomiting, headache, and rash.[1] Other side effects may include Stevens-Johnson syndrome, sulfonamide allergy, high blood sugar, immune reconstitution syndrome, abnormal lipids, and kidney stones.[1] While it has been used in pregnancy, safety is unclear.[3] It is a protease inhibitor and pro-drug of amprenavir.[1][2]
Fosamprenavir was approved for medical use in the United States in 2003 and Europe in 2004.[1][4] It is available as a generic medication.[5] In the United Kingdom a month of medication costs the NHS about £260 as of 2021.[2] In the United States this amount costs about 300 USD.[5]
