19
Q

What are PIs associated with?

A

GI distress and metabolic changes

20
Q

What are PI mostly given with and why?

A

Ritonavir (CYP3A inhibitor)–> Enhances plasma concentration of the PI

21
Q

What are the two types of Entry Inhibitors?

A
  • Fusion inhibitors

- CCR5 inhibitors

22
Q

What is the one fusion inhibitor?

A

Enfuvirtide

23
Q

Enfuvirtide MOA

A

Inhibits fusion of HIV with the target cell

24
Q

What is the preferred route of administration of enfuvirtide?

A

SQ

Oral route is impossible to do its peptide nature

25
Q

Side Effects of enfuvirtide

A

Injection site reaction

26
Q

How is enfuvirtide cleared?

A
  • protein catabolism

- amino acid recycling

27
Q

What is the one CCR5 inhibitor?

A

Maraviroc

28
Q

MOA of Maraviroc

A

Antagonist that blocks human receptors

29
Q

Potential Side Effects of Maraviroc

A

Drug to drug interactions because it is a substrate of P-glycoprotien

30
Q

MOA of Integrase Inhibitors (InSTIs)

A

Binds to HIV integrase at a certain time which therefore prevents the HIV viral DNA from getting into the human genome. Cellular components then break down the unincorporated viral DNA.

31
Q

What are the two Integrase Inhibitors (InSTIs)?

A
  • Raltegravir

- Elvitegravir

32
Q

What is Elvitegravir susceptible to?

A

Drug interactions with CYP3A drugs. (its metabolized by CYP3A drugs)

33
Q

What should Elvitegravir be coadministered with?

A

Ritonavir. It increases plasma concentrations.

34
Q

What is the drug combination for Atripla?

A

Efavirenz (EFV) +
Tenofovir (TDF) +
Emtricitabine (FTC)

35
Q

What is the drug combination for Stribild?

A

Elvitgravir +
Cobicistat +
Tenofovir +
Emtricitabine

36
Q

What is the drug combination for Complera?

A

Tenofovir +
Emtricitabine

37
Q

What is the drug combination for Truvada?

A

Tenofovir +

38
Q

What is the drug combination for Combivir?

A

Lamivudine +

Zidovudine

39
Q

What is the drug combination for Kaletra?

A

Lopinavir +

Ritonavir

40
Q

When should stribild be used?

A

In patients with pre treatment creatinine clearance of >70ml/min

41
Q

When should you do HLA-B 5701 screening?

A

Before starting patients on an abacavir containing regimen to reduce the risk of hypersensitivity reactions

42
Q

When should you do Coreceptor tropism assays?

A
  • Whenever using a CCR5 inhibitor

- May be considered in patients who exhibit virologic failure on a CCR5 inhibitor

A
  • CD 4 T cell count
  • Plasma HIV RNA Testing
