other parameters in model implementation

Ritonavir is an antiretroviral medication belonging to the class of protease inhibitors. It is primarily used as a pharmacokinetic enhancer or booster of other protease inhibitors or direct-acting antivirals in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Ritonavir is approved and widely used today in combination therapies as part of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), as well as in combination with other antivirals for COVID-19.
