INDICATIONS

ATRIPLA® is indicated for use alone as a complete regimen or in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

Adults: The dose of ATRIPLA is one tablet once daily taken orally on an empty stomach. Dosing at bedtime may improve the tolerability of nervous system symptoms.

Pediatrics: ATRIPLA is not recommended for use in patients < 18 years of age.
