Tell your doctor about all your current medicines and any you start or stop using. Many drugs can interact with indinavir, and some drugs should not be used together. What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Crixivan (indinavir)? You should not use indinavir if you are allergic to it. Some medicines can cause dangerous or life-threatening side effects when used with indinavir.

It is not known whether this medicine will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. HIV can be passed to your baby if you are not properly treated during pregnancy. Take all of your HIV medicines as directed to control your infection. If you are pregnant, your name may be listed on a pregnancy registry. This is to track the outcome of the pregnancy and to evaluate any effects of indinavir on the baby. Women with HIV or AIDS should not breast feed a baby. Even if your baby is born without HIV, the virus may be passed to the baby in your breast milk. Indinavir is not approved for use by anyone younger than 18 years old. How should I take Crixivan (indinavir)? Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Indinavir works best if you take it on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. You may also take indinavir with a light meal such as dry toast with jelly, or corn flakes with skim milk and sugar. Avoid eating a high-fat meal. Indinavir is usually taken every 8 hours around the clock. Take the medicine at the same times each day. Take indinavir with a full glass (8 ounces) of water, skim milk, juice, coffee, or tea. Drink at least 6 glasses of water each day to prevent kidney stones while you are taking indinavir. Use indinavir regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely. While using indinavir, you will need frequent blood tests. HIV/AIDS is usually treated with a combination of drugs. Use all medications as directed by your doctor. Read the instructions provided with each medication. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without your doctor's advice. Every person with HIV or AIDS should remain under the care of a doctor. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the capsules in their original container, along with the packet or canister of moisture-absorbing preservative. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. What happens if I miss a dose? Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If you are more than 2 hours late, skip the missed dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose. What happens if I overdose? Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lower back pain, and blood in your urine. What should I avoid while taking Crixivan (indinavir)? If you also take didanosine, take it on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 1 hour after you take indinavir. Taking this medicine will not prevent you from passing HIV to other people. Do not have unprotected sex or share razors or toothbrushes. Talk with your doctor about safe ways to prevent HIV transmission during sex. Sharing drug or medicine needles is never safe, even for a healthy person.
