PRECIPITANT DRUGS
Enzyme Inducers (UGT1A1):
- Efavirenz (Sustiva)
- Etravirine (Intelence)
- Rifampin (Rifadin, etc.)
- St. John's wort
- Tipranavir (Aptivus)
Comment:
Dolutegravir is a substrate of UGT1A1. Inducers of UGT1A1 may reduce dolutegravir plasma concentrations by over 50%. Loss of antiviral activity may occur.
Class 3: Assess Risk & Take Action if Necessary
- Monitor: If UGT1A1 inducers are coadministered with dolutegravir, consider increasing the dose of dolutegravir and monitor for reduced antiviral response.
