HIV tx Flashcards
initial HIV tx regimen in naive pts
2NRTIs + INSTI
why multiple drugs for tx?
resistance develops quickly with a single agent so use 2-3
NRTI meaning
nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors
NNRTI
non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
PIs
protease inhibitors
INSTIs
integrase strand transfer inhibitors
NRTIs MOA
inhibits conversion of HIV RNA to DNA by blocking the function of reverse transcriptase at active site and terminates DNA chain
TDF
tenofovir disoproxil fumarate
TAF
tenofovir alafenamide
NRTI associated inhibition of mitochondrial DNA function effects
lactic acidosis
hepatic steatosis
peripheral neuropathy
lipodystrophy
lamivudine and emtricitabine use
interchangeable but never used together
backbone of nearly all current antiretroviral tx regimens
which rx are also active against HBV?
lamivudine and emtricitabine (NRTIs)
lamivudine and emtricitabine side effects
most well tolerated NRTIs
rare headache, nausea, fatigue
abacavir indication
first line in combo with lamivudine and dolutegravir
triumeq
combo drug of abacavir, lamivudine and dolutegravir
abacavir side effects
hypersensitivity syndrome
- fever, abdominal pain, rash
- associated with HLA-B*5701 allele (need genetic testing)
cardio risk
TDF side effects
tenofovir disoproxil fumarate
decreased bone mineral density
decreased CrCl
Fanconi syndrome
TAF side effects
less than TDF, safer
greater antiviral activity lower dosing needed
adjust for CrCl
what is tenofovir
nucleotide adenosine 5imonophosphate derivative
truvada
TDF + emtricitabine (2 NRTIs)
Descovy
TAF + emtricitabine (2 NRTIs)
higher risk NRTIs used for resistant forms
didanosine
stavudine
zidovudine
NNRTIs MOA
inhibits conversion of HIV RNA to DNA by blocking the function of reverse transcriptase (binds at different site than NRTIs)
NNRTI downsides and effects
low barrier of resistance drug interactions hypersensitivity rxns neuro/psych effects hepatic clearance
efavirenz
NNRTI that is not very common in US
efavirenz side effects
neuro: vivid dream, insomnia, hallucinations
teratogenic
hepatotoxic
rash
drug interactions because it is a CYP3A4 inducer/inhibitor
first generation NNRTIs (some tx failure)
nevirapine
efavirenz
delaviridine
2nd gen NNRTIs (better)
etravirine
doravirine
rilpivirine
