    J.05.A.E.   Protease Inhibitors

    J.05.A.E.10   Darunavir

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Darunavir is an inhibitor of dimerization and catalytic activity of HIV-1 protease. The drug selectively inhibits the cleavage of polyproteins Gag-Pol HIV in viral-infected cells, preventing the formation of full-fledged viral particles.

    Darunavir is resistant to mutations that cause resistance to protease inhibitors. Darunavir does not inhibit any of the 13 human cell proteases studied.

    Pharmacokinetics:

    The pharmacokinetic properties of darunavir, used in combination with ritonavir, were studied in healthy volunteers and in HIV-infected patients.The concentrations of darunavir in plasma in patients infected with HIV-1 were higher than in healthy people. This difference can be explained by higher concentrations of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein in patients infected with HIV-1, and therefore large amounts of darunavir bind to the alpha-1-acid plasma glycoprotein. Darunavir is metabolized mainly by isoenzymes CYP3A. Ritonavir inhibits isoenzymes CYP3A liver and, thereby, significantly increases the concentration of darunavir in plasma.

    Absorption

    After oral administration darunavir quickly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The maximum concentration of darunavir in plasma in the presence of a low dose of ritonavir is achieved after 2.5-4.0 hours. The absolute bioavailability of a single dose of darunavir (600 mg) when ingested is about 37% and increases to about 82% in the presence of ritonavir (100 mg two times a day). There is a 14-fold increase in the concentration of darunavir in the plasma after a single oral intake at a dose of 600 mg in combination with ritonavir (100 mg twice daily). When taking an empty stomach, the relative bioavailability of darunavir in the presence of a low dose of ritonavir is 30% lower than when taken with meals. Consequently, darunavir It should be taken with ritonavir during meals.The nature of food does not affect the concentration of darunavir in plasma.

    Distribution

    About 95% of darunavir binds to plasma proteins, predominantly with an alpha-1-acid glycoprotein.

    Metabolism

    In experiments in vitro on human liver microsomes it was shown that darunavir is subjected primarily to oxidative metabolism. Darunavir is intensively metabolized in the liver by the cytochrome P450 system, almost exclusively by the isoenzyme CYP3A4. A study in which healthy volunteers took 14C-darunavir, showed that most of the radioactivity in the plasma after a single dose of 400 mg of darunavir and 100 mg of ritonavir was accounted for by the unchanged darunavir. At least 3 oxidative metabolites of darunavir have been identified in humans; the activity of all these metabolites with respect to the "wild" type of HIV was less than 1/10 of the activity of darunavir itself.

    Excretion

    After a single dose of 400 mg 14C-darunavir and 100 mg of ritonavir were 79.5% and 13.9% of radioactivity was detected in feces and urine, respectively. The proportion of unchanged darunavir accounted for about 41.2 and 7.7% of radioactivity in feces and urine, respectively.The final half-life of darunavir was about 15 hours when taken in combination with ritonavir. The clearance of darunavir after intravenous administration of 150 mg was 32.8 l / h (without ritonavir) and 5.91 l / h in the presence of a low dose of ritonavir.

    Pharmacokinetics in special clinical cases

    The pharmacokinetics of darunavir in combination with ritonavir in children 6-18 years of age and weighing at least 20 kg is comparable to pharmacokinetics in adult patients receiving a dose of 600 mg / 100 mg twice a day of darunavir / ritonavir.

    Population pharmacokinetic analysis in HIV-infected patients showed no significant differences in the pharmacokinetic parameters of darunavir in the 18-75 age group (12 HIV-infected patients aged 65 years and older were included in this analysis).

    Population pharmacokinetic analysis revealed slightly higher (16.8%) concentrations of darunavir in HIV-infected women than in HIV-infected men. This difference is not clinically relevant. The results of the study using 14C-darunavir in combination with ritonavir showed that about 7.7% of the accepted dose of darunavir was excreted unchanged in urine.In patients with impaired renal function, the pharmacokinetics of darunavir were not studied, but population pharmacokinetic analysis showed no significant change in the pharmacokinetic parameters of darunavir in patients with moderate renal impairment (serum creatinine clearance of 30-60 ml / min, n = 20).

    Darunavir is metabolized and excreted mainly by the liver. In a study using several doses of darunavir in combination with ritonavir (600 mg / 100 mg) twice daily, it was shown that the stable pharmacokinetic parameters of darunavir in patients with mild (Class A on the Child-Pugh scale, n= 8) and the average severity of liver function disorders (class B on the Child-Pugh scale, n= 8) were comparable with those of healthy individuals.

    In HIV-infected patients with mild and moderate severity of liver function disorders correction of the dose of darunavir is not required, apply darunavir in this category of patients should be cautious.

    In patients with severe hepatic impairment the pharmacokinetics of darunavir have not been studied. Severe liver failure is a contraindication to the appointment of darunavir.

    Indications:

    Treatment of HIV infection in adults and children aged 6 years and with a body weight of 20 kg or more, previously receiving antiretroviral therapy (in combination with low-dose ritonavir and other antiretroviral drugs).

    Contraindications:

    - Hypersensitivity to darunavir or to any component of the drug.

    - Simultaneous reception with drugs that are metabolized predominantly by the cytochrome P450 3A4 isoenzyme and an increase in plasma concentration is associated with serious and / or life-threatening side effects (narrow therapeutic range). These drugs include antihistamines (astemizole, terfenadine), alfuzosin, quetiapine, sildenafil (used for the therapy of pulmonary arterial hypertension), rifampicin, sedatives / hypnotics (triazolam, midazolam for oral administration), GI motility stimulants (cisapride), colchicine (in patients with renal and / or hepatic insufficiency), preparations containing St. John's wort extract, preparations containing ergot alkaloids (ergotamine, dihydroergotamine, ergometrine and methylergomethrin), antiarrhythmic drugs (amiodarone, beprideil, quinidine, lidocaine for systemic use, dronedaron), ranolazine, inhibitors of HMG-Co-A-reductase (simvastatin, lovastatin), antipsychotics (pimozide, sertindole).

    - In patients with chronic hepatitis (including with chronic viral hepatitis B and C).

    - In patients with hemophilia.

    Pregnancy and lactation:

    There were no full-scale studies of darunavir in pregnant women. Studies in animals have not revealed darunavir's toxic activity or negative impact on reproductive function and fertility.

    The combination of darunavir / ritonavir drugs can be given to pregnant women only when the expected benefit of its use for a prospective mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

    It is not known whether darunavir penetrate into breast milk in humans. Given the possibility of HIV transmission in breast milk, as well as the risk of serious side effects in infants due to exposure to darunavir, HIV-infected women receiving darunavir, should refrain from breastfeeding.

    In experimental studies on animals, the toxic activity of darunavir or its negative effect on reproductive function and fertility has not been revealed. Shown, that darunavir is excreted in breast milk in lactating rats.

    Dosing and Administration:

    Inside.

    Darunavir should always be prescribed in combination with a low dose of ritonavir as a remedy to improve its pharmacokinetic characteristics, as well as in combination with other antiretroviral drugs. The possibility of prescribing ritonavir should be considered before initiating darunavir / ritonavir therapy.Patients should be instructed to take darunavir with a low dose of ritonavir no later than 30 minutes after eating. After initiating therapy with darunavir, patients should not change or discontinue therapy without consulting the attending physician.

    Dosages of 75 mg and 150 mg are designed for use in children's practice. In adults to reach therapeutic doses of dosage data require receiving a large number of tablets, that on one hand makes them difficult to swallow, the other - may cause allergic reaction due to increased revenues auxiliary substances contained in the tablets, so they should be used only when the unavailability of other dosages .

    Adult patients

    Patients who have not previously received protease inhibitors:

    Patients who previously received protease inhibitors:

    Not having mutations that cause resistance to darunavir *

    Having at least 1 mutation that causes resistance to darunavir *

    800 mg once a day in combination with 100 mg of ritonavir, while eating.

    800 mg once a day in combination with 100 mg of ritonavir, while eating.

    600 mg twice a day in combination with 100 mg of ritonavir, while eating

    * Mutations causing resistance to darunavir: V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, I50V, I54M, I54L, T74R, L76V, I84 V and L89V

    For patients who have previously received protease inhibitors, genotypic assays are recommended.

    If it is not possible to perform genotypic analyzes, patients who have not previously received protease inhibitors should take a combination of darunavir / ritonavir once a day 800 mg / 100 mg, and patients who have previously received protease inhibitors are recommended to take the darunavir / ritonavir combination twice a day 600 mg / 100 mg.

    The type of food does not affect the absorption of darunavir. Ritonavir (100 mg) is used as an enhancer of the pharmacokinetics of darunavir.

    Children

    Patients from 6 to 18 years old who received antiretroviral therapy before. The recommended dose of darunavir / ritonavir for children from 6 to 18 years of age and a body weight of at least 20 kg depends on body weight (see table below) and should not exceed the recommended dose for adult patients (600 mg / 100 mg twice daily). Darunavir should be taken with ritonavir 2 times a day during meals.

    Elderly patients

    Information on use in elderly patients is limited. Therefore, the combination of darunavir / ritonavir should be used with caution in patients of this age group.

    Patients with hepatic impairment

    In patients with mild or moderate severity of liver function disorders, dose adjustment is not required. The use of a combination of darunavir / ritonavir in patients with severe impairment of liver function is contraindicated.

    Patients with impaired renal function

    In patients with impaired renal function, dose changes in the combination of darunavir / ritonavir are not required.

    Skipping darunavir / ritonavir combination

    If the darunavir / ritonavir combination is prescribed once a day and the delay in admission is less than 12 hours, the missed dose should be taken as soon as possible with food and resume the usual dosing regimen; if the delay in admission is more than 12 hours, then the missed dose should not be taken, and the next dose is taken at the usual time.

    If the darunavir / ritonavir combination is prescribed 2 times a day and the delay in admission is less than 6 hours, the missed dose should be taken as soon as possible with food, and the usual dosing regimen should be resumed; if the delay in the reception was more than 6 hours, then the missed dose should not be taken, and the next dose is taken at the usual time.

    Description of some side effects

    Rash

    In clinical studies, mainly a mild to moderate rash was observed. The rash usually appeared during the first four weeks of therapy and disappeared with continued use of the drug. When developing severe skin reactions, see the section "Special instructions". In clinical trials in patients previously treated, the rash, regardless of its cause, more often occurred with the admission of treatment regimens containing darunavir and raltegravir, than when taking darunavir without raltegravir or raltegravir without darunavir. The rash caused by taking the drug appeared with a similar frequency. The rash that developed in clinical trials was mild and moderate and did not lead to discontinuation of therapy.

    Lipodystrophy

    Combined antiretroviral therapy causes fat redistribution (lipodystrophy) in patients with HIV. Lipodystrophy manifested itself in the form of loss of peripheral and facial subcutaneous fat, increased intra-abdominal and visceral fat, mammary gland hypertrophy, and accumulation of dorsocervical fat ("bovine hump").

    Metabolic disorders

    Combined antiretroviral therapy causes metabolic disorders such as hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia.

    Musculoskeletal disorders

    Increased activity of creatine phosphokinase, myalgia, myositis and rhabdomyolysis (rarely) were observed with the use of protease inhibitors, especially in combination with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

    Osteonecrosis has been reported, especially in patients with recognized risk factors, with HIV disease at a later stage or for a long time receiving combined antiretroviral therapy. The incidence of osteonecrosis is unknown.

    Immunodeficiency Syndrome

    In patients with HIV and severe immunodeficiency, at the onset of combined antiretroviral therapy, inflammatory responses to asymptomatic or residual infections may occur. There were also autoimmune diseases (eg, Graves' disease). However, the time to onset of the disease may vary, and such diseases may begin months after initiation of therapy.

    Bleeding in patients with hemophilia

    There was an increase in the incidence of spontaneous bleeding in patients with hemophilia receiving antiretroviral protease inhibitors.

    Patients with concomitant infection caused by the hepatitis B virus and / or C

    In patients with these infections, an increase in hepatic transaminase activity was more common than in patients without concomitant viral hepatitis B or C.

    Overdose:

    Data on acute overdose when taking darunavir in combination with ritonavir in humans are limited. Healthy volunteers were taken once to 3200 mg of darunavir in the form of a solution and up to 1600 mg in the form of tablets in combination with ritonavir, with no side effects noted.

    Treatment

    The specific antidote is unknown. In case of an overdose, general supportive therapy with monitoring of basic physiological parameters should be carried out. With appropriate indications for the withdrawal of non-sucking drug, it is necessary to induce vomiting. You can also apply Activated carbon. Darunavir predominantly binds to plasma proteins, therefore, a significant removal of the active substance by dialysis is unlikely.

    Interaction:

    Darunavir, used in combination with ritonavir, is an inhibitor of isoenzymes CYP3A, CYP2D6 and P-glycoprotein. The simultaneous use of the darunavir / ritonavir combination and drugs that are metabolized predominantly by isoenzymes CYP3A, CYP2D6 and are carried by P-glycoprotein, can cause an increase in the concentrations of such drugs in the plasma, which in turn may be the cause of the amplification or prolongation of the therapeutic effect, as well as the cause of side effects.

    The combined use of the darunavir / ritonavir combination with drugs whose clearance is largely dependent on the isoenzyme CYP3A, and an increase in the systemic level of which may be accompanied by the development of serious and / or life-threatening phenomena (narrow therapeutic range).

    The general pharmacokinetic enhancing effect of ritonavir was an increase in the systemic level of darunavir by approximately 14 times with a single dose of darunavir 600 mg in combination with ritonavir at a dose of 100 mg twice a day. In this way, darunavir should be used in combination with only low doses of ritonavir as a pharmacokinetic "enhancer".

    In a clinical study using a mixture of drugs metabolized by isoenzymes CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6, an increase in the activity of isoenzymes CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 and inhibition of isoenzyme activity CYP2D6 in the presence of the darunavir / ritonavir combination, which may be due to the presence of a low dose of ritonavir.

    The combined use of darunavir and ritonavir with drugs metabolized predominantly by the isoenzyme CYP2D6 (eg, flecainide, propafenone, metoprolol) may increase the concentration of these drugs in the plasma, which in turn may cause an increase or prolongation of their therapeutic effect and undesirable reactions. The combined use of darunavir and ritonavir with drugs, primarily metabolized isoenzymes CYP2C9 (e.g., warfarin), and CYP2C19 (e.g., methadone) may lead to a reduction of systemic levels of these drugs, which in turn may be the cause of reducing or reducing their therapeutic effect.

    Although the effect on isoenzyme CYP2C8 was studied only in vitro, the combined use of the darunavir / ritonavir combination with drugs that are predominantly metabolized by the CYP2C8 isoenzyme (for example, paclitaxel, rosiglitazone, repaglinide) may lead to a lower systemic level of these drugs, which in turn may be a reason for a decrease or decrease in their therapeutic effect .

    Drugs affecting the concentration of darunavir / ritonavir

    The metabolism of darunavir and ritonavir isoenzyme participates CYP3A. Drugs that induce isoenzyme activity CYP3A, presumably increase the clearance of darunavir and ritonavir, causing a decrease in plasma concentrations of these drugs (for example, rifampicin, St. John's wort and lopinavir). The combined use of darunavir and ritonavir with other isozyme inhibitory drugs CYP3A, can reduce the clearance of darunavir and ritonavir and increase their plasma concentration (for example, it concerns indinavir, systemic azoles, in particular, ketoconazole and clotrimazole). These interactions are described in the table below.

    Table of drug interactions

    Interactions between the combination of darunavir / ritonavir and antiretroviral and other drugs are given in the table below ("Undetermined" is abbreviated as "N / A"). The direction of the arrow for each pharmacokinetic parameter is based on a 90% confidence interval for the average geometric ratio that can be in the range (↔), below (↓) or above (↑) of the range 80-125%.

    A number of interaction studies (indicated # in the table below) were conducted using darunavir doses below recommended or with a different regimen of therapy. Effects on co-administered medications can therefore be underestimated, and as a consequence, clinical safety monitoring can be indicated.

Besides, AUC the sum of the active derivatives of rifabutin (starting drug + 25-0-deacetyl metabolite) increased by a factor of 1.6, while the value of CmOh remained comparable.

    Currently, there is no data compared with the standard dose of 150 mg once a day. (Rifabutin is an inducer and isoenzyme substrate CYP3A.) In a combination of darunavir / ritonavir with rifabutin (150 mg every other day), the systemic concentration of darunavir was increased.

    Patients receiving combination therapy are recommended to reduce the dose of rifabutin by 75% of the usual dose of 300 mg / day (eg, 150 mg every other day), as well as more frequent monitoring of rifabutin-related adverse events. In case of safety problems, further increase in the interval between rifabutin administration and / or monitoring of rifabutin concentration should be considered.

    It is necessary to study the official recommendations on the proper therapy of tuberculosis in HIV-infected patients.

    Based on the safety profile of the darunavir / ritonavir combination, an increase in the dose of ritonavir with rifabutin therapy does not require dose adjustment of the darunavir / ritonavir combination.

    In a clinical study in which ritonavir in a dose of 100 mg in capsules twice a day was used in combination with 50 μg fluticasone propionate intranasally (4 times a day) for 7 days in healthy volunteers, a significant increase in plasma concentrations of fluticasone propionate was observed, while the concentrations of endogenous cortisol decreased approximately by 86% (90% confidence interval 82-89%). With inhalation application of fluticasone, more pronounced effects can be observed.

    In patients receiving ritonavir and fluticasone inhaled or oral systemic glucocorticosteroid effects, including Cushing's syndrome and adrenal suppression; this can also be observed when using other glucocorticosteroids metabolized with the participation of the isoenzyme CYP3A, for example, budesonide. Effects of high concentrations of fluticasone on the concentration of ritonavir in plasma are unknown.

    The combined use of the darunavir / ritonavir combination with these glucocorticosteroids is not recommended unless the potential benefit of the treatment outweighs the risk of systemic glucocorticosteroid effects.

    It is necessary to solve the problem of reducing the dose of a glucocorticosteroid with careful monitoring of local and systemic effects, or about switching to another corticosteroid that is not a substrate of the isoenzyme CYP3A (eg, beclomethasone). Moreover, in the case of cancellation of glucocorticosteroids, it may be necessary to gradually reduce the dose over a longer period.

    For treatment Erectile Dysfunction

    Avanafil

    Sildenafil

    Tadalafil

    Vardenafil

    In the study of interaction, * comparable systemic sildenafil concentrations were observed after a single dose of 100 mg of sildenafil in the form of monotherapy and at a dose of 25 mg in combination with darunavir / ritonavir.

    It is not recommended simultaneous administration of avanafil and darunavir / ritonavir.

    Other PDE-5 inhibitors for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in combination with the darunavir / ritonavir combination should be used with caution. If the concomitant use of the combination of darunavir / ritonavir with sildenafil, vardenafil or tadalafil is indicated, sildenafil is recommended in a single dose of not more than 25 mg for 48 hours, vardenafil in a single dose not exceeding 2.5 mg in 72 hours or tadalafil in a single dose not higher 10 mg for 72 hours.

    For the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension

    Sildenafil

    Tadalafil

    Not studied.Joint use of sildenafil or tadalafil as drugs for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and darunavir with low doses of ritonavir can lead to an increase in the concentration of sildenafil or tadalafil in plasma.

    A safe and effective dose of sildenafil for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension when used in combination with the darunavir / ritonavir combination has not been established. Potentially, it is possible to increase the incidence of sildenafil-related adverse events (including visual disorders, hypotension, prolonged erections and syncope).

    Thus, concomitant use of the combination of darunavir / ritonavir and sildenafil for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension is contraindicated.

    The combined use of tadalafil to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension with a combination of darunavir / ritonavir is not recommended.

    Buspirone

    Clorazepate

    Diazepam

    Estazolam

    Flurazepam

    Triazolam

    Zolpidem

    Not studied.

    Sedation / hypnotics are metabolized to a large extent by isoenzyme CYP3A. Joint use with a combination of darunavir / ritonavir can cause a significant increase in the concentration of these drugs.

    When the darunavir / ritonavir combination is used together with these sedatives / hypnotics, clinical monitoring is recommended, in addition, the question of reducing the dose of these drugs should be addressed. The use of a combination of darunavir / ritonavir with triazolam is contraindicated.

    Midazolam

    Based on data on other isoenzyme inhibitors CYP3A It is assumed that when joint use of midazolam orally with darunavir in combination with low doses of ritonavir, there will be a significant increase in midazolam concentrations in plasma.

    When joint use of midazolam parenterally with darunavir in combination with low doses of ritonavir, a significant increase in the concentration of midazolam is possible.

    Data on the joint use of midazolam parenterally with other protease inhibitors indicate the possibility of an increase in the level of midazolam in plasma in3-4 times.

    The use of darunavir with low doses of ritonavir and midazolam is contraindicated orally.

    In applying darunavir with low doses of ritonavir and midazolam parenterally necessary caution.

    If midazolam parenterally will be used in combination with darunavir in combination with low doses of ritonavir, treatment should begin under conditions of the intensive care unit (ICU) or similar conditions in which careful clinical monitoring and appropriate therapy in the case of depression of the respiratory center and / or long may be provided sedation. It is necessary to solve the problem of correcting the dose of midazolam, especially if it is used more than once.

    * Efficacy and safety of darunavir with ritonavir 100 mg, and any other HIV inhibitors (e.g., (phos) amprenavir, nelfinavir and tipranavir) in HIV-infected patients is not installed. According to current treatment recommendations, therapy that includes 2 protease inhibitors is generally not recommended.

    Special instructions:

    Patients should be informed that modern antiretroviral drugs do not cure HIV infection and do not prevent the transmission of HIV.Patients should explain the need for appropriate precautions. Information on the combination of darunavir / ritonavir in patients 65 years of age or older is very limited. Care must be taken when treating darunavir patients of this age group, because they are more likely to have liver dysfunction, they are more likely to suffer from concomitant diseases, or receive concomitant therapy.

    Absolute bioavailability after a single dose of darunavir at a dose of 600 mg is approximately 37% and increases to about 82% after taking darunavir in combination with 100 mg of ritonavir twice a day. There is a 14-fold increase in the concentration of darunavir in the plasma after taking a single dose of 600 mg in combination with ritonavir 100 mg 2 times a day. In this way, darunavir should be taken only in combination with a low dose of ritonavir (100 mg) as a pharmacokinetic enhancer. An increase in this dose of ritonavir does not lead to a significant increase in the concentration of darunavir in plasma, so a dose of ritonavir should not be increased.

    Severe skin reactions

    In 0.4% of patients with darunavir, severe skin reactions were detected, which may be accompanied by fever and / or an increase in hepatic transaminase activity. Stevens-Johnson syndrome and DRESS-syndrome (drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic manifestations) were rarely recorded (<0.1%).

    In the postmarketing period, toxic epidermal necrolysis and acute generalized exentematous pustulosis were recorded very rarely (<0.01%). If there are signs or symptoms of severe skin reactions (rash or rash accompanied by fever, general malaise, pain in the muscles or joints, blisters, oral cavity, conjunctivitis, hepatitis and / or eosinophilia), darunavir should be discontinued immediately. A rash (of all types) was observed in 10.3% of patients receiving darunavir. The rash was mostly mild or moderate and was often observed during the first four weeks of treatment and decreased with continued therapy. In 0.5% of cases, the rash was the cause of withdrawal of the darunavir / ritonavir combination.

    Rashes were more common in patients taking both raltegravir and a combination of darunavir / ritonavir compared to patients who received separately raltegravir and a combination of darunavir / ritonavir. The rash, the occurrence of which was associated with taking the drug, occurred with the same frequency in all three groups. The rash was of mild or moderate severity and did not limit therapy. The rash was not the reason for the abolition of therapy.

    Darunavir contains a sulfonamide group. In patients with allergies to sulfonamides darunavir should be used with caution. In clinical studies of the darunavir / ritonavir combination, the extent and incidence of rash were similar in patients with and without an allergy to sulfonamides in the anamnesis.

    Patients with impaired hepatic function

    Since stable pharmacokinetic parameters in the use of darunavir in persons with mild and moderate severity of liver function disorders are comparable to those of healthy individuals, dose adjustment for patients with mild and moderate severity of liver dysfunction is not required. Severe liver failure is a contraindication to the appointment of darunavir.

    Hepatotoxicity

    When using the darunavir / ritonavir combination, hepatitis caused by the use of medications (eg, acute hepatitis, cytolytic hepatitis) is observed. Hepatitis was observed in 0.5% of patients receiving dronavir / ritonavir combination therapy. In patients with impaired hepatic function, incl. with chronic active hepatitis B or C, there is an increased risk of developing serious side effects from the liver.

    It is necessary to monitor appropriate laboratory parameters before prescribing darunavir / ritonavir combination and during treatment. Consider monitoring the increase in activity ACT and ALT in patients with chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, or in patients who experienced increased transaminase activity prior to initiation of therapy, and especially during the first few months of combination therapy with darunavir / ritonavir. If symptoms of liver function disorders or their progression are detected (including a clinically significant increase in hepatic enzyme activity and / or symptoms such as fatigue, anorexia, nausea, jaundice, dark urine, tenderness in palpation of the liver,hepatomegaly) should consider discontinuing or canceling therapy with a combination of darunavir / ritonavir.

    Patients with impaired renal function

    Kidneys play an insignificant role in the clearance of darunavir, so in patients with kidney disease, the overall clearance of darunavir is virtually unchanged. Darunavir and ritonavir have a high degree of binding to plasma proteins, so hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis does not play a significant role in removing these drugs from the body.

    Patients with hemophilia

    There are reports of increased bleeding, including spontaneous cutaneous hematomas and hemarthrosis, in patients with haemophilia type A and B treated with protease inhibitors. Some of these patients received coagulation factor VIII. In more than half of the cases described, treatment with protease inhibitors continued without interruption or resumed after suspension for some time. It has been suggested that there is a causal relationship between the treatment of protease inhibitors and increased bleeding in patients with hemophilia, but the mechanism for such a link has not been established.Patients with hemophilia receiving the darunavir / ritonavir combination should be informed of the possibility of increased bleeding.

    Hyperglycaemia

    Patients receiving antiretroviral therapy, including protease inhibitors, have described newly diagnosed cases of diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia, or worsening of the current diabetes mellitus. In some of these patients, hyperglycemia was severe and in some cases was accompanied by ketoacidosis. Many patients had concomitant diseases, some of which required treatment with drugs that promote the development of diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia.

    Lipodystrophy

    Combined antiretroviral therapy can cause redistribution of adipose tissue (lipodystrophy) in HIV-infected patients. The increased risk of lipodystrophy is associated with factors such as old age, as well as with long-term therapy with antiretroviral drugs and the associated metabolic disorders. In clinical studies of HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral drugs, it is necessary to pay attention to physical signs of fat redistribution.It is recommended to determine the content of lipids and fasting blood glucose. Disorders of lipid metabolism should be treated with appropriate drugs.

    Immunodeficiency Syndrome

    In HIV-infected patients with severe immunodeficiency, an inflammatory response of the body to asymptomatic or residual opportunistic infections may occur at the onset of combined antiretroviral therapy, which causes serious clinical complications or worsening of symptoms. Typically, such reactions are observed in the first weeks or months of combined antiretroviral therapy. Possible development of cytomegalovirus retinitis, generalized and / or local mycobacterial infections and pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis carinii. It is necessary to determine the severity of any symptoms of inflammation and to conduct appropriate therapy. Autoimmune diseases (such as Graves' disease, polymyositis and Guillain-Barre syndrome) were observed against the background of restoration of immunity, but the time of primary manifestations varied, and the disease could occur many months after the initiation of therapy and have an atypical course.

    Osteonecrosis

    There have been cases of osteonecrosis, especially in patients with common risk factors, late HIV infection or long-term combined antiretroviral therapy. Patients should be advised to consult a doctor if joint pain occurs, joint stiffness, or difficulty in moving.

    Interaction with other medicinal products

    Darunavir and ritonavir are inhibitors of isoenzymes CYP3A and CYP2D6, as well as inhibitors of P-glycoprotein. The simultaneous use of a combination of darunavir / ritonavir and other drugs that are metabolized predominantly by isoenzymes CYP3A and / or CYP2D6 or are transported by P-glycoprotein, can lead to an increase in the concentration of such drugs in the plasma, so that their therapeutic and side effects may be intensified or prolonged.

    Darunavir is metabolized by isoenzymes CYP3A. Simultaneous reception of drugs that induce isozyme activity CYP3A, can increase the clearance of darunavir. leading to a decrease in the concentration of darunavir in plasma. Simultaneous administration of darunavir with isozyme inhibitors CYP3A can reduce the clearance of darunavir, as a result of which the concentration of darunavir in plasma will increase.

    Effect on the ability to drive transp. cf. and fur:

    Studies on the effects of darunavir / ritonavir combination on the ability to drive and move vehicles have not been conducted. However, when considering the patient's ability to drive and move vehicles, the clinical condition of the patient, as well as the side effects of darunavir, should be taken into account.
