Kaletra appears to show great promise for the treatment of COVID 19

The Treatment of COVID 19 with KALETRA

Generic Kaletra COVID 19 – There is currently a suggestion that the drug KALETRA is effective against COVID 19, or at least has some benefits for people infected with COVID 19.

Because a number of people who are concerned about the COVID 19 virus have contacted me for assistance in buying generic KALETRA I have decided to publish a little information about the treatment of COVID 19 with KALETRA and what the costs of buying generic KALETRA are.

Because there is no vaccine or a proven cure for coronavirus, medicos are looking to repurpose existing drugs that are known to be safe in humans, such as KALETRA.

So with my normal disclaimer that I am not a doctor here is what will be helpful for you to know:

What is Kaletra?

KALETRA is a combination of two antiviral medications Lopinavir 200 mg  and Ritonavir 50 mg. Lopinavir and Ritonavir are both antiviral protease inhibitors typically used in HIV, including post-exposure prophylaxis (lopinavir is the actual antiviral agent, with ritonavir functioning to inhibit metabolism of lopinavir, thereby boosting levels of lopinavir).

The reason that people a trying Kaletra against COVID 19 is because it was used in the SARS-CoV 1 outbreak.  In vitro, Lopinavir/Ritonavir has activity against SARS-COV-1 and functions synergistically with ribavirin. The suggestion is that adding ribavirin increases Lopinavir’s potency by about 400%.

SARS-COV 1 shares about 80 to 90% of the same genetic make up as COVID 19.

Is Kaletra Effective Against COVID 19?

Chinese Treatment of COVID 19 with Kaletra

Kaletra (which is also called  Aluvia) is made by the USA pharmaceutical company AbbVie. AbbVie donated Kaletra/ Aluvia to China in January for experimental use against the new viral disease. According to Chinese media reports, Kaletra / Aluvia has been effective against Covid-19.

The company adds that it lacks access to Chinese clinical information to confirm the accuracy of these reports.

Australian Studies of Treatment of COVID 19 with Kaletra

According to the Daily Mail a  team of scientists at the University of Queensland in Australia says they have seen Kaletra wipe out COVID-19 infections.

The scientists say that lopinavir/ritonavir have both reportedly shown promising results in human tests and made the virus ‘disappear’ in infected patients.

From the Daily Mail: 

Professor Paterson said it wouldn’t be wrong to consider the drugs a possible ‘treatment or cure’ for the deadly respiratory infection. 

He explained that when the HIV medication lopinavir/ritonavir was given to people infected with the coronavirus in Australia it led to the ‘disappearance of the virus’.

He told Australian news site news.com.au: ‘It’s a potentially effective treatment.

‘Patients would end up with no viable coronavirus in their system at all after the end of the therapy.’

Although the treatment had been effective in a smattering of cases, there hasn’t been any controlled testing like what would be needed to test a new drug, Professor Paterson said. 

Singapore Studies of Treatment of COVID 19 with Kaletra

Recently there was also a study in Singapore of people infected with COVID 19 who were treated with KALETRA ( Lopinavir + Ritonavir)

The study describes 18 patients with COVID-19 who overall did well after receiving treatment with Lopinavir/Ritonavir. Only one patient with COVID 19 required intubation and there were no deaths.
