The following points should be considered when initiating therapy with lopinavir and ritonavir: • The use of other active agents with lopinavir and ritonavir is associated with a greater likelihood of treatment response [see Microbiology (12.4) and Clinical Studies (14)]. • Genotypic or phenotypic testing and/or treatment history should guide the use of lopinavir and ritonavir [see Microbiology (12.4)]. The number of baseline lopinavir resistance- associated substitutions affects the virologic response to lopinavir and ritonavir [see Microbiology (12.4)]. 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 2.2 Pediatric Patients Lopinavir and Ritonavir Oral Pellets should not be administered once daily in pediatric patients < 18 years of age. Lopinavir and Ritonavir Oral Pellets should not be administered to neonates before a postmenstrual age (first day of the mother’s last menstrual period to birth plus the time elapsed after birth) of 42 weeks and a postnatal age of at least 14 days has been attained [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

In particular, constituents in the medicinal plant extracts may influence drug bioavailability, metabolism and half-life, leading to drug toxicity or failure to obtain a therapeutic response. This narrative review focuses on clinical studies improving knowledge on the ability of selected herbal medicines to influence the pharmacokinetics of co-administered drugs. Moreover, in vitro studies are useful to anticipate potential herbal medicine-drug interactions.

  • Indinavir Sulfate Capsule Merck & Co., Inc
    CRIXIVAN - indinavir sulfate capsule Merck & Co., Inc. ---------- CRIXIVAN® (INDINAVIR SULFATE) CAPSULES DESCRIPTION CRIXIVAN1 (indinavir sulfate) is an inhibitor of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease. CRIXIVAN Capsules are formulated as a sulfate salt and are available for oral administration in strengths of 100, 200, 333, and 400 mg of indinavir (corresponding to 125, 250, 416.3, and 500 mg indinavir sulfate, respectively). Each capsule also contains the inactive ingredients anhydrous lactose and magnesium stearate. The capsule shell has the following inactive ingredients and dyes: gelatin, titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide and sodium lauryl sulfate. The chemical name for indinavir sulfate is [1(1S,2R),5(S)]-2,3,5-trideoxy-N-(2,3-dihydro-2-hydroxy-1H-inden-1-yl)-5-[2-[[(1,1­ dimethylethyl)amino]carbonyl]-4-(3-pyridinylmethyl)-1-piperazinyl]-2-(phenylmethyl)-D-erythro-pentonamide sulfate (1:1) salt. Indinavir sulfate has the following structural formula: Indinavir sulfate is a white to off-white, hygroscopic, crystalline powder with the molecular formula C36H47N5O4• H2SO4 and a molecular weight of 711.88. It is very soluble in water and in methanol. 1 Registered trademark of MERCK & CO., Inc. COPYRIGHT © 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2004 MERCK & CO., Inc. All rights reserved MICROBIOLOGY Mechanism of Action HIV-1 protease is an enzyme required for the proteolytic cleavage of the viral polyprotein precursors into the individual functional proteins found in infectious HIV-1. Indinavir binds to the protease active site and inhibits the activity of the enzyme. This inhibition prevents cleavage of the viral polyproteins resulting in the formation of immature non-infectious viral particles.

Candidates, Class of 2019 Group 47 :Orido/Samantha 2 Objective The purpose of this article is to provide a systematic review of the pharmacokinetic and clinical data on drug-drug interactions between protease inhibitors (PIs) and statins, atazanavir and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)and their clinical relevance. Methods A literature search was performed using Medline, EMBASE and google scholar, abstracts from 1970 to 2019 of major conferences were searched and FDA drug information package inserts of the manufacturer of every currently available PI was looked at. All data was summarized and verified by at least two investigators. Results A total of 246 references were identified, 8 of which were studies of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics interactions between simvastatin, lovastatin and protease inhibitors and an additional 7 articles that provided pharmacokinetic of proton pump inhibitors and Atazanavir. Conclusions Protease inhibitors increases the AUC and Cmax of simvastatin by approximately 500% and 517% respectively. Therefore, simvastatin and Lovastatin are not recommended for a co-administration with a protease inhibitor.
