(plasma concentrations)

• Explain purpose and side effects of medication to patient. Advise patient to readPatient Information before starting therapy and with each Rx refill in case of changes. Take as directed at the same time each day. Instruct patient not to share medication with others. Emphasize the importance of regular follow-up exams and blood counts to determine progress.
• Advise patient to notify health care professional of all Rx or OTC medications, vitamins, or herbal products being taken and to consult with health care professional before taking other medications, especially St. John's wort; may decrease effectiveness.
• Maraviroc must always be used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs. Do not take more than prescribed amount, and do not stop taking without consulting health care professional. Take missed doses as soon as remembered; then return to regular dose schedule. If it is within 6 hr of next dose, omit dose and take next dose at regular time. Do not double doses.
• Inform patient that maraviroc does not cure HIV or prevent associated or opportunistic infections. May reduce the risk of transmission of HIV to others through sexual contact or blood contamination. Caution patient to use a condom and to avoid sharing needles or donating blood to prevent spreading HIV to others. If new symptoms of infection develop after starting maraviroc, notify health care professional.
• Advise patient to discontinue maraviroc and notify health care professional if chest pain, signs of hepatotoxicity (itchy rash, yellow-colored skin or eyes, dark urine, vomiting, abdominal pain) or signs of immune reconstitution syndrome (signs and symptoms of an infection — Mycobacterium aviumcomplex infection, cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, tuberculosis, reactivation of herpes simplex and herpes zoster) occur.
• May cause dizziness. Caution patient to avoid driving and other activities requiring alertness until response to medication is known.
• Advise patient to make position changes slowly to minimize postural hypotension.
• May cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential taking oral contraceptives to use a nonhormonal method of birth control during therapy. Instruct patient to notify health care professional if pregnancy is planned or suspected and to avoid breastfeeding. Inform pregnant women of the pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to maraviroc during pregnancy. To enroll in the Antiviral Pregnancy Registry call 1-800-258-4263.
