This experience illustrates that the original recommendations for dosage and rate of administration were not appropriate for all neonates and that the drug's usage in clinical trials could not be generalized to longer exposures or more rapid rates of titration in neonates treated in the community [ 14].
31 Table 3A shows summary costs of antiretroviral treatment before and during the MONET trial for 20,000 patients, using the data on treatment usage from the trial itself.
