Legend

↑                  Potential elevated exposure of the anxiolytic therapy
↓                  Potential decreased exposure of the anxiolytic therapy
↔                No significant effect
D                  Potential decreased exposure of ARV drug
E                  Potential elevated exposure of ARV drug

ATV/c         ATV co-formulated with COBI (300/150 mg qd)
DRV/c         DRV co-formulated with COBI (800/150 mg qd)
CAB/RPV   CAB and RPV im long acting injections (PK and/or QT interactions shown are with RPV)

Numbers refer to increased or decreased AUC as observed in drug-drug interaction studies

BZD     benzodiazepines
SSRI    selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
SNRI   serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors

Interactions with ABC, FTC, 3TC, ZDV

ABC, FTC, 3TC, ZDV: no clinically relevant interactions expected.

Interactions with cabotegravir (oral)

None

Interactions with ibalizumab

None

Comments

  1. ECG monitoring is recommended.
  2. Caution as both drugs can induce QT interval prolongation

^ LEN causes moderate inhibition of CYP3A4 and, when discontinued, remains in the circulation for prolonged periods. Residual concentrations of LEN may affect the exposure of sensitive CYP3A4 substrates and/ or narrow therapeutic index drugs that are initiated within 9 months after the last subcutaneous dose of LEN.
