AIDS: The Community Research Initiative on AIDS (CRIA) is currently conducting a study to determine the effects of Ultrase MT-20, a digestive supplement, on preventing diarrhea caused by the protease inhibitor Viracept (Nelfinavir). Additional studies have evaluated possible drug interactions between Ultrase and Viracept. One such study showed that, when taken together, Ultrase did not lower Viracept levels.
