Sildenafil doses should be decreased when any potent cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitor is used (e g., cimetidine, erythromycin, clarithromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, and saquinavir). Vardenafil doses vary accordingto which agent is used (2.5 mg q 72 h for ritonavir, 2.5 mg q 24 h for indinavir, ketoconazole 400 mg daily, and itraconazole 400 mg daily and 5 mg q 24 h for ketoconazole 200 mg daily, itraconazole200 mg daily, and erythromycin). Tadalafil doses are reduced only when it is used with the most potent cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors (e g., ketoconazole or ritonavir).

Nevirapine is a moderate inducer of CYP3A metabolism, resulting in decreased levels of amprenavir, indinavir, lopinavir, saquinavir, efavirenz, and methadone (Table 49-4). Drugs that induce the CYP3A system, such as tipranavir, rifampin, rifabutin, and St. John s wort, can decrease levels of nevirapine, whereas those that inhibit CYP3A activity, such as fluconazole, ketoconazole, and clarithromycin, can increase nevirapine levels.

Delavirdine is extensively metabolized to inactive metabolites by the CYP3A and CYP2D6 enzymes. However, it also inhibits CYP3 A and thus inhibits its own metabolism. In addition to its interactions with other antiretroviral agents (see Table 49 1), delavirdine will result in increased levels of numerous agents (Table 49-3). Dose reduction of indinavir and saquinavir should be considered if they are administered concurrently with delavirdine. Delavirdine plasma concentrations are reduced in the presence of antacids, phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, rifabutin, and rifampin concentrations are increased during coadministration with clarithromycin, fluoxetine, dexamethasone, and ketoconazole.
