Reyataz Dosage for Children

The recommended dose of Reyataz for treating a child with HIV or AIDS depends on body weight. Reyataz is often used along with ritonavir (Norvir) in this age group. See the following chart for Reyataz with Norvir dosages for children (age 6 to 17 years old):
 
Weight
Reyataz Dosage
Norvir Dosage
33 to 54 pounds
150 mg once daily
80 mg once daily
55 to 69 pounds
200 mg once daily
100 mg once daily
70 to 85 pounds
250 mg once daily
100 mg once daily
86 pounds or more
300 mg once daily
100 mg once daily
 
For children age 13 years and older, the recommended Reyataz dose without Norvir is Reyataz 400 mg once daily. There is not enough information to recommend a Reyataz dose (without Norvir) for children under 13 years old. Similarly, there is not enough information to recommend a Reyataz (with Norvir) dosage for children under six years old or who weigh less than 33 pounds.
