Description
Nelfinavir is used, usually in combination with other medicines, in the treatment of the infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV is the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Nelfinavir will not cure or prevent HIV infection or AIDS; however, it helps keep the HIV virus from reproducing and appears to slow the destruction of the immune system. This may help delay the development of problems related to AIDS or HIV disease. Nelfinavir will not keep you from spreading HIV to other people. People who take this medicine may continue to have other problems related to AIDS or HIV disease.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
