clinicaloptions.com/hiv The Role of Integrase Inhibitors in HIV Management Pharmacology of Raltegravir: Implications for Dosing & Interactions Raltegravir administered as one 400-mg pill BID without regard to food Raltegravir metabolized by glucuronidation –May have fewer interactions with drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450 –Strong inducers or inhibitors of UGT1A1 (enzyme responsible for raltegravir glucuronidation) –Atazanavir: increases raltegravir levels—but increases not shown to be clinically relevant [1] –Tipranavir: reduces plasma levels of raltegravir [2] —but comparable efficacy observed in 100 patients receiving raltegravir plus either tipranavir/ritonavir or a control PI [1] 1.

clinicaloptions.com/hiv The Role of Integrase Inhibitors in HIV Management Principles for Use of Raltegravir in ARV-Resistant Patients Greater likelihood of achieving virologic suppression if raltegravir introduced earlier rather than later Regimen containing raltegravir + 2 other active agents appears more effective than regimen containing raltegravir + 1 other active agent High rates of integrase resistance at virologic failure highlights importance of prescribing raltegravir with other active agents Cooper DA, et al.
