Darunavir and ritonavir are inhibitors of the isoenzyme CYP3A4. Simultaneous use of the PRESIST® / ritonavir combination and drugs that are metabolized predominantly by isoenzyme CYP3A4, can cause an increase in the concentration of such drugs in the plasma, which, in its queue, may be the reason for the enhancement or prolongation of the therapeutic effect, as well as the cause of the occurrence of side effects.
The combination of PRESIS® / ritonavir should not be used concomitantly with drugs whose clearance is largely determined by the isoenzyme CYP3A4 and elevated concentrations of which in the plasma can cause serious and / or life-threatening side effects (narrow therapeutic range). These drugs include amiodarone, beprideil, quinidine, system lidocaine, astemizole, alfuzosin, sildenafil (in the case of pulmonary arterial hypertension therapy), terfenadine, oral midazolam, triazolam, cisapride, prmozide, sertindole, simvastatin, lovastatin and ergot alkaloids (for example, ergotamine, dihydroergotamine, ergometrine and methylergomethrin). Rifampicin is a powerful inducer of cytochrome isoenzymes CYP450. The combination of PRESIS® / ritonavir should not be used concomitantly with rifampicin, since in such cases the concentration of darunavir in plasma can be significantly reduced. A consequence of this may be the loss of the therapeutic effect of PRESISTA®.
The combination of PRESIS® / ritonavir should not be used concomitantly with preparations containing St. John's wort extract (perforated (Hypericum perforatum), as this may be accompanied by a significant decrease in the concentration of darunavir in plasma, so that the therapeutic effect of PRESIST® can disappear.
Recommendations for concurrent use with other antiretroviral drugs
Nucleoside / nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors
Didanosine
The combination of PRESIS® / ritonavir (600/100 mg twice daily) simultaneously with didanosine can be used without dose adjustment.
As didanosine it is recommended to use on an empty stomach, it can be taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after the PRESIS® / ritonavir, which is taken with food.
Tenofovir
The results of the study of the interaction between tenofovir (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg / day) and the combination of darunavir / ritonavir (300 mg / 100 mg twice daily) showed that the concentration of tenofovir in plasma increased by 22%. This change is not clinically significant. With the simultaneous use of tenofovir and darunavir, the renal excretion of both drugs did not change. Tenofovir had no significant effect on the concentration of darunavir in plasma.With the simultaneous use of PRESIS® / ritonavir and tenofovir, dose adjustment is not required.
Other nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
Other nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (zidovudine, zalcitabine, emtricitabine, stavudine, lamivudine and abacavir) are eliminated mainly by the kidneys, and therefore the probability of their interaction with the combination of darunavir / ritonavir is negligible.
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
Etravirine
When studying the interaction of the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination (600/100 mg twice daily) and etravirine, a decrease in the concentration of etravirin by 37% was found and no significant changes in the concentration of darunavir were observed. However, the combination of PRESIS® / ritonavir can simultaneously be administered with 200 mg of etravirine 2 times a day without changing the dose.
Efavirenz
A study was made of the interaction between the darunavir / ritonavir combination (300 mg / 100 mg twice daily) and efavirenz (600 mg once daily). In the presence of efavirenz, the concentration of darunavir in plasma was decreased by 13%. On the other hand, the plasma concentration of efavirenz increased by 21% when it was used concomitantly with the darunavir / ritonavir combination.This interaction is not clinically relevant, and therefore PRESIS® / ritonavir and efavirenz can be used simultaneously without correction of the doses of the drugs.
Nevirapine
The results of the study of the interaction between the darunavir / ritonavir combination (400 mg / 100 mg twice daily) and nevirapine (200 mg twice daily) showed that the plasma concentrations of darunavir did not depend on the presence of nevirapine. However, with simultaneous use with the darunavir / ritonavir combination, nevirapine plasma concentration increased by 27% (compared with the control). This interaction is considered clinically insignificant, and therefore the combination of darunavir / ritonavir and nevirapine can be used simultaneously without changing their doses.
Protease Inhibitors
Ritonavir
In general, the effect of improving the pharmacokinetics of darunavir ritonavir was manifested in the fact that the concentrations of darunavir in plasma increased approximately 14-fold after taking one dose of darunavir (600 mg) and 100 mg of ritonavir twice a day. Therefore, the preparation PRESISTA® should be used in combination with a low dose of ritonavir.
The combination of lopinavir / ritonavir
The results of the study of the interaction between the darunavir / ritonavir combination (1200 mg / 100 mg twice daily) or 1200 mg of darunavir without ritonavir and the combination of lopinavir / ritonavir (400 mg / 100 mg twice daily or 533 mg / 133.3 mg twice daily) showed that in the presence of a combination of lopinavir / ritonavir, the concentration of darunavir in plasma decreased by 40%. It is not recommended to use the combination of lopinavir / ritonavir simultaneously with the PRESIS® / ritonavir.
Saquinavir
The study of the interaction of darunavir (400 mg twice daily), saquinavir (1000 mg twice daily) and ritonavir (100 mg twice daily) showed that the concentration of darunavir in plasma increased by 26% in the presence of saquinavir and ritonavir; on the other hand, the combination of darunavir / ritonavir did not affect concentration of saquinavir in plasma. It is not recommended to apply saquinavir simultaneously with the drug PRESIS®, regardless of the use of a small additional dose of ritonavir.
Atazanavir
The study of the interaction, between the darunavir / ritonavir combination (400 mg / 100 mg twice daily) and atazanavir (300 mg once daily) showed no significant change in the concentrations of darunavir and atazanavir in plasma when administered simultaneously. Atazanavir can be used concomitantly with the darunavir / ritonavir combination.
Indinavir
In a study of the interaction between darunavir / ritonavir (400 mg / 100 mg twice daily) and indinavir (800 mg twice daily), the concentration of darunavir in plasma increased by 24% in the presence of indinavir and ritonavir; In the presence of the darunavir / ritonavir combination, plasma concentrations of indinavir increased by 23%. When administered in combination with the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination, the dose of indinavir in patients who do not tolerate it can be reduced from 800 mg twice daily to 600 mg twice daily.
Other protease inhibitors
Until now, the interaction between the PRESIST® / ritonavir combination and protease inhibitors in addition to lopinavir, saquinavir, atazanavir and indinavir has not been studied, and therefore, protease inhibitors not listed here should not be used concomitantly with the darunavir / ritonavir combination.
Receptor antagonists CCR5
With the simultaneous use of the PRESIST® / ritonavir combination maraviroc should be given in a dose of 150 mg 2 times a day. In a study of the interaction between a combination of darunavir / ritonavir (600 mg / 100 mg twice daily) and maraviroc (150 mg twice daily) AUC Maraviroc increased to 305%.The effects of maraviroc on the concentration of darunavir / ritonavir were not noted.
Recommendations for simultaneous use with preparations of other classes
Antiarrhythmic drugs (beprideal, systemic lidocaine, quinidine, amiodarone, flecainide, propafenone)
The combination of PRESIS® / ritonavir can increase serum concentrations of bepridil, lidocaine, quinidine, amiodarone, flecainide and propafenone. With the simultaneous use of this combination and listed antiarrhythmic agents, it is recommended that care be taken and, if possible, monitoring the concentrations of these agents in the plasma.
Digoxin
In all studies on the interaction of PRESIST® / ritonavir (600/100 mg twice daily) and a single dose of digoxin (0.4 mg), an increase in the final concentration of digoxin in plasma was shown to be 77%. It is recommended that a minimum dose of digoxin be initially prescribed and that its serum concentration be measured to obtain the desired clinical effect when concurrently administered with PRESISTA® / ritonavir.
Anticoagulants
The combination of PRESIS® / ritonavir can affect the concentrations of warfarin in the plasma.With the simultaneous use of warfarin and this combinait is recommended to monitor the international normalized relationship.
Panticonvulsants (phenobarbital, phenytoin and carbamazepine)
Phenobarbital and phenytoin are inducers of cytochrome isoenzymes CYP450. The combination of PRESIS® / ritonavir is not recommended in combination with these drugs, as this can cause a significant reduction in the concentration of darunavir in the plasma and, consequently, a decrease in its therapeutic effect.
The study of the interaction between the PRESIST® / ritonavir combination (600/100 mg twice daily) and carbamazepine (200 mg twice daily) showed that the concentration of darunavir in this case does not change, while the concentration of ritonavir is reduced by 49%. The concentration of carbamazepine is increased by 45%. Dose changes for PRESIS® / ritonavir are not required. If it is necessary to prescribe simultaneously PRESISTA® / ritonavir and carbamazepine, the patient should be under the constant supervision of medical personnel in connection with the possible occurrence of side effects of carbamazepine.Carbamazepine concentrations should be measured, and its doses should be adjusted in accordance with clinical manifestations. Thus, doses of carbamazepine can be reduced by 25-50% when combined with PRESISTA® / ritonavir.
Antidepressants (trazodone, desipramine)
The combined use of PRESIST® / ritonavir with trazodone and desipramine may increase the concentration of trazodone and desipramine in plasma. This can cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, lowering blood pressure, fainting. If necessary, the combined use of these drugs and PRESISTA / ritonavir should be used with caution and consider the use of smaller doses of trazodone and desipramine.
Benzodiazepines (milazolam parenteral)
The combined use of PRESIST® / ritonavir with parenterally administered midazolam may increase the concentration of midazolam in the plasma. When combined, careful clinical monitoring should be carried out and urgent measures taken in the event of respiratory depression or prolonged sedation.Consider the possibility of reducing the dose of midazolam, especially in the case of prolonged therapy.
The use of PRESIS® / ritonavir with oral midazolam is contraindicated.
Neuroleptics (risperidone, thiorazadine)
With the combined use of neuroleptics with PRESISTE / ritonavir, their plasma concentrations may increase, resulting in the simultaneous use of lower doses of antipsychotics.
Colchicine
When the colchicine is used together with PRESISTA® / ritonavir, will increaseьConcentrationacolchicine in plasma. The following is recommendeddose change of colchicine. For the treatment of gout exacerbations for patients receiving the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination, the recommended dose of colchicine is 0.6 mg (1 tablet) and 0.3 mg (1/2 tablet) after 1 hour. The course of treatment should be repeated no earlier than 3 days later. For the prevention of exacerbations for patients receiving the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination, the recommended dose of colchicine is 0.3 mg every other day or every other day. For the treatment of familial Mediterranean fever for patients receiving the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination, the maximum dose of colchicine should be 0.6 mg once daily (or 0.3 mg twice daily).Patients with reduced renal or hepatic function should not be prescribed colchicine when combined with PRESIS® / ritonavir.
Blocks of "slow" calcium channels
Concentrations in the plasma of slow calcium channel blockers (eg, felodipine, nifedipine, nicardipine) may increase with simultaneous use with a PRESISTA / ritonavir combination. In such situations it is necessary to closely monitor the condition of patients.
Clarithromycin
The study of the interaction between the darunavir / ritonavir combination (400 mg / 100 mg twice daily) and clarithromycin (500 mg twice daily) showed that the concentration of clarithromycin in the plasma increased by 57%, while the concentration of darunavir remained unchanged. In patients with impaired renal function, it is recommended to reduce the dose of clarithromycin.
Dexamethasone
Dexamethasone when injected into the bloodstream induces isoenzyme CYP3A4 in the liver, which leads to a decrease in the concentration in the plasma of darunavir. This can lead to a decrease in its therapeutic effect. It is advisable to use caution when using concomitant dexamethasone and darunavir.
Boszentan
With the simultaneous use of bosentan and the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination, the concentration of bosentan in plasma may increase. Patients who receive the PRESIS® / ritonavir combination for a minimum of 10 days are advised to take the initial dose of bosentan 62.5 mg every other day or every other day, depending on individual tolerability. For patients receiving bosentan and novice PRESISTA® / ritonavir therapy, it is recommended to cancel bosentan at least 36 hours prior to the PRESIS® / ritonavir therapy. At least 10 days after the start of PRESISTA® / ritonavir therapy, bosentan should be taken at a dose of 62.5 mg every other day or every other day, depending on individual tolerability.
Fluticasone, budesonide
With simultaneous use of inhaled fluticasone and PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination, the concentration of fluticasone in plasma can increase. A similar interaction can be observed with the use of other corticosteroids metabolized by the isoenzyme CYP3A4, for example, budesonide. It is advisable to use drugs that are alternative to fluticasone, not which areI substrate of isoenzyme CYP3A4 (eg, beclomethasone).
Preparations from the group of statins
In the metabolism of statins, such as simvastatin, rosuvastine and lovastatin, an important role is played by the isoenzyme CYP3A4, therefore their plasma concentrations can be significantly increased with simultaneous use with the PRESIST® / ritonavir combination. Elevated concentrations of statins can cause myopathy, including rhabdomyolysis. Given this, it is not recommended to use the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination with lovastatin, rosuvastin, or simvastatin.
The study of the interaction between atorvastatin (10 mg once daily) and the combination of darunavir / ritonavir (300 mg / 100 mg twice daily) showed that in this situation the concentration of atorvastatin in plasma was only 15% lower than with monotherapy with atorvastatin ( 40 mg once daily). If simultaneous use of atorvastatin and a combination of darunavir / ritonavir it is recommended to start with a dose of atorvastatin 10 mg once a day. Then you can gradually increase the dose of atorvastatin, focusing on the clinical effect of therapy.
The combination of darunavir / ritonavir (600 mg / 100 mg twice daily) increased the concentration of pravastatin in plasma after taking one dose of this drug (40 mg) by about 80%, but only in a part of the patients.If pravastatin and PRESISTA® / ritonavir are to be used together, it is recommended that pravastatin should be taken from the lowest possible doses and that doses be increased until the clinical effect appears, controlling the manifestation of the side effects of the drug.
Blockers H2-gistaminovyh receptors and inhibitors proton pumps
The use of omeprazole (20 mg once daily) or ranitidine (150 mg twice daily) along with the combination of darunavir / ritonavir (400 mg / 100 mg twice daily) did not affect the concentration of darunavir in plasma. Given these data, the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination can be used concomitantly with H blockers2receptors and proton pump inhibitors without changing the dose of any of these drugs.
Inhalation beta-adrenomimetics (salmeterol)
Simultaneous application of salmeterol and PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination is not recommended, because may increase the risk of side effects of salmeterol from the cardiovascular system, incl. interval lengthening QT, heart palpitations and sinus tachycardia.
Immunosuppressive drugs (ciclosporin, tacrolimus. sirolimus)
Concentrations in the plasma of cyclosporine, tacrolimus and sirolimus may increase when these drugs are used simultaneously with the PRESISTA / ritonavir combination. In these situations, it is recommended to monitor the concentration of immunosuppressive agents in plasma.
Ketoconazole, itraconazole and voriconazole
Ketoconazole, itraconazole and voriconazole are potent inhibitors of the isoenzyme CYP3A4, as well as its substrates. Systemic use of ketoconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole concurrently with the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination may lead to an increase in darunavir concentrations in plasmae. On the other hand, this combination can beet increase concentrations in plasma ketoconazole or itraconazole. This was confirmed by a study of the interaction between ketoconazole (200 mg twice daily) and a combination of darunavir / ritonavir (400 mg / 100 mg twice daily) in which concentrations of ketoconazole and darunavir increased 212% and 42%, respectively. If a combination is required, darunavir / ritonavir concurrently with ketoconazole or itraconazole, the daily dose of the latter should not exceed 200 mg.Concentrations of voriconazole in plasma may decrease when combined with darunavir / ritonavir. Voriconazole should not be used concomitantly with darunavir / ritonavir, concurrent use is only possible if the potential benefits of using voriconazole exceed the potential risk.
Clotrimazole
The interaction of the PRESIST® / ritonavir combination with clotrimazole has not been studied. With the simultaneous use of clotrimazole and darunavir, and low doses of ritonavir, there may be an increase in the concentration of darunavir in plasma. With the simultaneous use of the PRESISTA® / ritonavir and clotrimazole combination, care should be taken and clinical monitoring performed.
Beta-blockers (metoprolol, timolol)
The combined use of beta-blockers and the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination may lead to an increase in the concentration of beta-blockers. If both of these drugs and the PRESISTA / ritonavir combination are used concomitantly, care should be taken and clinical monitoring carefully conducted, and a dose reduction of beta-blockers may also be required.
Methadone
In a study of the effect of the PRESIS® / ritonavir combination (600/100 mg twice daily) on stable maintenance therapy with methadone, a 16% decrease in concentration Rin the plasma. Based on pharmacokinetic and clinical results, correction of the dose of methadone during the initiation of PRESISTA® / ritonavir therapy is not required. However, it is recommended to conduct clinical monitoring, as in some patients maintenance therapy requires correction.
Buprenorphine / naloxone
The results of the study of the interaction between the PRESISTA® / ritonavir and buprenorphine / naloxone combination demonstrated the absence of PRESIST® / ritonavir's influence on the concentration of buprenorphine when combined. The concentration of active metabolite of buprenorphine of norbuprenorphine increased by 46%. Correction of the dose of buprenorphine was not required. With the joint administration of PRESIS® / ritonavir and buprenorphine, careful clinical monitoring is recommended.
Estrogen-containing oral contraceptives
The results of the study on the interaction between the PRESIST® / ritonavir combination (600/100 mg twice daily) and ethinyl estradiol and butRwith etisteroneflow aboutm, that a constant concentration in the plasma Ethinylestradiol and norethisterone are reduced by 44% and 14%, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended to use alternative non-hormonal methods of contraception.
Inhibitors of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5)
When treating erectile dysfunction
One study examined sildenafil concentrations after taking one dose of this drug (100 mg), and after taking 25 mg of sildenafil concomitantly with the darunavir / ritonavir combination (400 mg / 100 mg twice daily). The concentrations of sildenafil were similar in both situations. Caution should be exercised while using PDE-5 inhibitors for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and the PRESISTA / ritonavir combination. If it is necessary to use PRESIS® and ritonavir simultaneously with sildenafil, vardenafil or tadalafil a single dose of sildenafil should not exceed 25 mg within 48 hours, a single dose of vardenafil should not be more than 2.5 mg within 72 hours, and a single dose of tadalafil should not exceed 10 mg within 72 hours.
In the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension
A safe and effective dose of sildenafil for the therapy of pulmonary arterial hypertension has not been established. There is an increased risk of side effects of sildenafil (including visual impairment, lower blood pressure, prolonged erections and fainting). Thus, the simultaneous use of the PRESIST® / ritonavir and sildenafil combination in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension is contraindicated. For the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, tadalafil, when used concomitantly with the PRESISTA / ritonavir combination, requires a change in the dose of tadalafil. For patients receiving the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination for at least one week, the initial dose of tadalafil should be 20 mg once daily with a possible increase to 40 mg once daily on the basis of individual tolerability. For patients receiving tadalafil and initiating therapy with the PRESIS® / ritonavir combination, you should cancel tadalafil at least 24 hours before the start of therapy with the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination and simultaneous use of tadalafil should be avoided during the initiation of therapy with the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination.1 week after the start of therapy with the PRESISTA® / ritonavir combination, tadalafil should be resumed at a dose of 20 mg once daily with a possible increase to 40 mg once daily on the basis of individual tolerability.
Rifabutin
Rifabutin is a substrate of cytochrome isoenzymes CYP450. In an investigation of PRESIST® / ritonavir (600/100 mg twice daily) and rifabutin (150 mg every other day), there was an increase in darunavir concentration by 57%. Based on the PRESISTA® / ritonavir safety profile, an increase in the concentration of darunavir in the presence of rifabutin does not require dose adjustment for PRESIST® / ritonavir. Interaction studies showed comparable concentrations with 300 mg rifabutin once daily and 150 mg every other day in combination with PRESISTA® / ritonavir (600/100 mg twice daily), and увelycheeConclusioneactive metabolite 25-ABOUT-desacetyltrifabutin. When The appointment of such a combination requires patients to reduce the dose of rifabutin by 75% of the usual dose of 300 mg per day and an increased control of the side effects of rifabutin.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
A study of the interaction between paroxetine (20 mg once daily) or sertraline (50 mg once daily) and a combination of PRESISTA® / ritonavir (400 mg / 100 mg twice daily) showed that the concentration of darunavir in plasma did not depend on presence of sertraline or paroxetine. On the other hand, in the presence of the PRESIST® / ritonavir combination, plasma concentrations of sertraline and paroxetine decreased by 49 and 39%, respectively. In cases where selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are to be used concomitantly with PRESISTA® and ritonavir, the dose of these inhibitors must be carefully selected based on the clinical evaluation antidepressant effect. In addition, patients receiving a stable dose of sertraline or paroxetine, who are being treated with the PRESISTA / ritonavir combination, should carefully monitor the severity of the underlying antidepressant effect.
