Ritonavir (Norvir (R) ) Capsules Back: Refrigeration Optional

As this issue went to press, Abbott announced that its reformulated ritonavir capsules have been approved. The new capsules must be refrigerated until dispensed to patients; then "refrigeration by patients is recommended, but not required, if used within 30 days and stored below 77 degrees Fahrenheit." The capsules are used twice daily with food.
