LPV/r oral pellets are a better tasting alternative to LPV/r syrup for the treatment of HIV in children who cannot tolerate the LPV/r syrup. The pellets are used in combination

They have an improved taste, are easy to swallow and don’t need to be stored in the fridge (they can be stored at room temperature)
As this is a new product, healthcare workers must demonstrate how to administer oral pellets to caregivers (instructions are given below)
