The Food and Drug Administration approved indinavir in March 13th 1996, making it the eighth approved antiretroviral.

Indinavir was much more powerful than any prior antiretroviral drug - using it with dual NRTIs set the standard for treatment of HIV/AIDS and raised the bar in the design and introduction of subsequent antiretroviral drugs. Protease inhibitors changed the very nature of the AIDS epidemic from one of a terminal illness to a somewhat manageable one.
