PREZISTA Contraindications:
Concomitant drugs that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which elevated plasma levels are associated with serious and/or life-threatening events (narrow therapeutic index) (eg, alfuzosin, colchicine [in renal and/or hepatic impairment], dronedarone, ivabradine, ranolazine, rifampin, lurasidone, pimozide, ergots, cisapride, oral midazolam, triazolam, St. John's wort, elbasvir/grazoprevir, lomitapide, lovastatin, simvastatin, naloxegol, sildenafil [for PAH]).
PREZISTA Warnings/Precautions:
Perform genotypic/phenotypic testing, treatment history in treatment-experienced patients prior to initiation. Sulfonamide allergy. Hepatic impairment (eg, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, pre-treatment elevated transaminases): monitor liver enzymes esp. during 1st few months; interrupt or discontinue therapy if liver dysfunction occurs or worsens. Severe renal impairment. Diabetes (may need insulin or oral hypoglycemics dose adjusted). Hemophilia. Elderly. Pregnancy. Nursing mothers: not recommended.
