Ritonavir toxicity

Therapies not recommended for initial treatment due to poor potency or significant toxicity include delavirdine, nevirapine in patients with moderate to high CD4+ T-cell counts, indinavir or saquinavir used without ritonavir ( unboosted ), ritonavir used without another protease inhibitor, and tenofovir plus didanosine with an NNRTI. [Pg.1259]

Dose adjustment for combination therapy with saquinavir For serious toxicities that may be associated with saquinavir mesylate, the drug should be interrupted. Saquinavir mesylate at doses less than 1,000 mg with ritonavir 100 mg twice daily are not recommended since lower doses have not shown antiviral activity. For recipients of combination therapy with saquinavir mesylate and ritonavir, dose adjustments may be necessary. These adjustments should be based on the known toxicity profile of the individual agent and the pharmacokinetic interaction between saquinavir and the coadministered drug. Health care providers should refer the complete monographs for these drugs for comprehensive dose adjustment recommendations and drug-associated adverse reactions of nucleoside analogues. [Pg.1800]

Hepatic toxicity Tipranavir coadministered with ritonavir 200 mg has been associated with reports of clinical hepatitis and hepatic decompensation, including some fatalities. [Pg.1815]

Foscarnet should not be used in combination with drugs that cause renal toxicity (e.g., acyclovir, aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, NSAIDs). Abnormal renal function has been noted when foscarnet is used with ritonavir or ritonavir and saquinavir. Pentamidine may increase the risk of nephrotoxicity, hypocalcemia, and... [Pg.573]

Garlic bulb Ritonavir Two brief case reports describe gastrointestinal toxic effects in patients taking garlic and ritonavir. [Pg.1395]

As an inhibitor of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9, the potential for drug-drug interactions with atazanavir is great (Tables 49-3 and 49-4). Atazanavir AUC is reduced by 76% when combined with omeprazole thus, the combination is to be avoided. In addition, co-administration of atazanavir with other drugs that inhibit UGT1A1, such as indinavir and irinotecan, is contraindicated because of enhanced toxicity. Tenofovir and efavirenz should not be -administered with atazanavir unless ritonavir is added to boost levels. [Pg.1081]

Saquinavir should be taken within 2 hours after a fatty meal for enhanced absorption. Saquinavir is 97% protein-bound, and serum half-life is approximately 2 hours. Saquinavir has a large volume of distribution, but penetration into the cerebrospinal fluid is negligible. Excretion is primarily in the feces. Reported adverse effects include gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, dyspepsia) and rhinitis. When administered in combination with low-dose ritonavir, there appears to be less dyslipidemia or gastrointestinal toxicity than with some of the other boosted PI regimens. [Pg.1082]

Ritonavir is a very potent inhibitor of CYP3A4, which is responsible for the metabolism of ergotamine, and this interaction obviously led to toxic plasma concentrations of the alkaloid. [Pg.1234]

Solas C, Basso S, Poizot-Martin I, Ravaux I, Gallais H, Gastaut JA, Durand A, Lacarelle B. High indinavir Cmin is associated with higher toxicity in patients on indinavir-ritonavir 800/100 mg twice-daily regimen. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 2002 29(4) 374-7. [Pg.1739]

The adverse effects commonly observed with ritonavir in adults are reportedly similar in children (19). Of 51 children aged 6 months to 18 years who took escalating doses of a liquid formulation of ritonavir (from 250 up to 400 mg/m every 12 hours), seven withdrew because of gastrointestinal toxicity and four because of grade three hepatic transaminase rises. Both serum triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations increased significantly from baseline within 12 weeks of treatment. [Pg.2161]

In a pilot, non-randomized study, HIV-infected patients with tuberculosis were treated with regimens containing rifampicin and ritonavir (31). Despite the effects on CYP3A4, there was no significant interaction plasma ritonavir concentrations remained sufficiently high and rifampicin concentrations did not rise to the toxic range. [Pg.2161]

This class of agents affects a later part of the HIV cycle, by inhibiting the protease enzyme and leading to impaired assembly of mature HIV virions. Examples include amprenavir, atazanavir, darunavir, fosampre-navir indinavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, and saquinavir. There have been no published reports of AKI or other direct kidney toxicity due to amprenavir, darunavir, fosamprenavir, and lopinavir. [Pg.390]

Protease inhibitors are targeted towards the HIV proteases, which are essential to activate precursors of gag-pol. HIV protease is essential for infectivity and cleaves the viral polyprotein (gag-pol) into active viral enzymes and structural proteins. The mechanism of action of these drags is by binding reversibly to the active site of HIV protease and blocking subsequent viral maturation. This major class includes saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir, and nelfi-navir. Toxicities of protease inhibitors include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. [Pg.50]

The two Pis used most in the last 5 to 6 years, nearly always in combination regimens with two NRTIs, are indinavir and ritonavir. Saquinavir, one of the least toxic, has very low (and variable) oral bioavailability that predisposes to resistance development. [Pg.212]
