Non - Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors

EFAVIRENZ

  • Cytochrome P450 enzyme substrate: CP3A4 and CYP2B6
  • Action to be taken: Caution and close monitoring
  • Rationale: Sorafenib inhibits CYP2B6 in vitro. Co-administration with efavirenz is expected to increase systemic exposure of efavirenz, and caution is recommended.

NEVIRAPINE
  • Cytochrome P450 enzyme substrate: CYP3A and CYP2B6
  • Action to be taken: Caution and close monitoring
  • Rationale: Telithromycin is a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4. Nevirapine plasma concentrations and HIV status are to be closely monitored.

RILPIVIRINE
  • Cytochrome P450 enzyme substrate: CYP3A
  • Action to be taken: Caution and close monitoring
  • Rationale: Isoniazid is an inhibitor of CYP3A4.Close clinical monitoring is advised when administering with rilpivirine due to increased potential for rilpivirine-related adverse events. Although this interaction has not been studied, predictions can be made based on metabolic pathways. Co-administration may lead to increased rilpivirine plasma concentrations.

ETRAVIRINE
  • Cytochrome P450 enzyme substrate: CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19
  • Action to be taken: Caution with close monitoring
  • Rationale: Fluconazole is a potent inhibitor of CYP2C9 and posaconazole is a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4. Careful monitoring is recommended when administered with posaconazole. With concomitant use with fluconazole, etravirine Cmax is increased by 75%, AUC by 86%, and Cmin by 109%. Safety data for increased etravirine serum concentrations is limited, however, the manufacturer of etravirine does not recommend a dose change when co-administered with other inhibitors.
