Viramune® (nevirapine) has been approved for use in combination with nucleoside analog anti-HIV drugs in people who are failing their current treatment. Nevirapine is not approved for use with the protease inhibitors (saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir) as it is not yet known how these drugs may affect each other in the body. It is possible that taking nevirapine with protease inhibitors could be harmful to the liver.
