Lopinavir receptor antagonists

Proton pump inhibitors (marked effect) and H2-receptor antagonists (modest effect) reduce atazanavir levels. Other drugs that increase gastric pH are also predicted to reduce plasma levels of atazanavir. Fosamprenavir may be similarly affected (moderate effects seen with ranitidine), although antacids and esomeprazole had little effect in one study. Omeprazole decreases indinavir levels and an antacid modestly decreased tipranavir levels. Neither ranitidine nor omeprazole had any effect on darunavir/ritonavir or lopinavir/ritonavir levels. In contrast, cimetidine, ranitidine and omeprazole have been shown to increase saquinavir levels.
