Kaletra is a prescription medicine that combines two drugs, lopinavir and ritonavir. It is used together with other HIV medicines to treat HIV infection in adults and children. Ritonavir does not fight HIV directly at this dose; instead it boosts and maintains blood levels of lopinavir, which is the drug that actually fights the virus.
