Use of a sulfonamide compound for improving the pharmacokinetics of a drug

摘要

A method for improving the pharmacokinetics of drugs, which are metabolized by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase is disclosed. More specifically it relates to a method for improving the pharmacokinetics of retroviral protease inhibitors and in particular for improving the pharmacokinetics of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitors. A pharmaceutical composition and its use in the manufacture of a medicament for the inhibition or treatment of an HIV infection or AIDS in a human being are also part of the invention.
