How Should Norvir Be Stored?

You may notice that your pharmacist stores Norvir capsules in the refrigerator. If possible, it is best for you to store them in the refrigerator as well, although they may be kept at room temperature (less than 77 degrees) if you will use them all within 30 days. Norvir oral solution should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep both capsules and oral solution in an airtight container.
 
Keep Norvir and all other medications out of the reach of children.
 

What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose of Norvir?

It is important that you not miss Norvir doses. If you do not take your Norvir as scheduled, take the missed dose as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Be sure to tell your healthcare provider if you are having trouble remembering to take your HIV medications.
