Every four hours, an alarm would go off, reminding him it was time to take yet another pill. Diagnosed with AIDS in 1998, Moore was taking 32 pills a day to manage the disease. Now, because of the Food and Drug Administration’s last week approval of a once-a-day medication to treat HIV/AIDS, if he wanted, he would only have to take one. Atripla Tablets, the first one-pill, once-a-day HIV/AIDS medicine, are expected to be available for purchase in pharmacies as soon as August, said Kris Davis, a registered nurse practi- tioner with the UI Hospitals and Clin- ics HIV/AIDS program. The new pill, a combination of three widely used antiretroviral drugs, offers a simpler, less complex regimen for those able to take it. It combines the active ingredients of previously FDA approved Sustiva, Emtriva, and Viread. “This is the first of the antiretroviral therapies that have been available in one pill,” Davis said. “It’s kind of a land- mark from the days when patients were having to take 12 or 15 or even 20 pills at a time.”
