    The effects of this drug seem to greatly outway the documented side effects (nausea, diarhea, etc). My results of using this Protease inhibitor along with an anti-retro-viral (Truvada) has been very satifactory. Controling HIV/AIDS.... I am however concerned with the undocumented or unknown side effects... I have witnessed, endevoured & heard of several cases inwhich people expierencing extreme metabolic changes; swelling; adema; anemia; and several other undocumented yet serious side effects that have been passed off as unrelated to Kaletra, but yet always seem to follow within the 1st 90days of initial dispensing of this Drug... My overal experience is satisfactory, for the treatment, but skeptical of the documented effects Published: October 23, 2007 ::

    I now have necrosis of both hips and it is not known if the Kaletra might have had something to do with it. Also it has caused me to get fat deposits and makes it much harder to loose weight. Published: December 07, 2007 ::
