One potential concern of once-daily protease inhibitor administration is low trough concentrations and ultimately the 'forgiveness' or robustness in comparison with the originally licensed twice-daily dose. To give an estimation of 'forgiveness', we determined the length of time plasma drug concentrations were below target in HIV-infected patients receiving saquinavir/ritonavir regimens.
