Comprehensive, up-to-date information on HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention from the University of California San Francisco

This database contains drug interactions (involving at least one antiretroviral drug) that the editors have found reported in published articles, abstracts from major conferences, or information presented to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (generally reflected in product labeling). Studies demonstrating the absence of an interaction are also included. In addition to interactions demonstrated by data, interactions inferred from predicted mechanisms of drug metabolism are included when judged to be of potential clinical significance. Additive toxicities resulting or predicted from shared side-effect profiles are not included, unless a true pharmacokinetic interaction is thought to contribute (for information on additive toxicities, refer to the Drug Interactions Tables from the DHHS Adult & Adolescent Antiretroviral Treatment Guidelines). In vitro studies, results reported in brief letters, and animal studies are not generally included. Interactions between non-antiretroviral drugs are not included (for information on other types of interactions, refer to the Drug Information Links page).

Possible alternative agents listed represent potential options of which the editors are aware. They are not treatment recommendations, and are not intended to be exhaustive. Recommendations not to coadminister, to dose adjust, or to avoid a given combination reflect the opinions of the editors and may not apply to individual situations.
