We should be grateful if you would kindly forward this informa-
tion to the appropriate, interested persons.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who
have participated in this work and helped us in this achieve-

In addition to completing the preparation of other monographs
for antiretroviral substances, we are now also working on mono-
graphs for the dosage forms associated with the ARVs already fi-
nalized and those in preparation. Draft texts will be circulated
for comment in due course.
