Adherence: I think the NUMBER of pills is much less significant than the TIMING - though perhaps I'm used to it because I've taken 15-20 pills (vitamins) a day for years. Can Fortovase be taken with meals?

Viracept can be taken with food, before a meal or after a meal, though AGPH has done some very small studies that indicate 40% better bioavailability with food because the drug needs proteins to bind to for transport. The dosing schedule for Crixivan is hell; at least 1 hour before a meal and/or no less than 2 hours after a meal.
