Pharm - HIV pharmacotherapy part 2 Flashcards
true or false
Efavirenz is an NNRTI that can be used in pregnancy
FALSE
it is an NNRTI but cannot be used in pregnancy
efavirenz is a potent ___ agent
HIV-1
name some AE of efavirenz
CNS psychiatric events (depression, mania, disturbing dreams, insomnia)
hepatotoxicity (increased liver enzymes)
increased cholesterol
rare - SJS
true or false
nevirapine is an NNRTI that can be used in pregnancy
true
AE of nevirapine
rash (if becomes severe, discontinue - can be life threatening)
hepatotoxicity
true or false
nevirapine as an excellent oral PK profile and is also effective in preventing transmission of HIV
true
name a second gen NNRTI
what is an advantage?
etravirine
has better resistance profile
counseling point for etravirine
take with food! better absorption
AE etravirine
serious rash and allergy, elevated triglyceride and cholesterol, IRIS
also DDI because substrate and inducer of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 AND 2C19 inhibitor
rilpivirine is an NNRTI ONLY for which patients?
treatment naive, 12 and older, greater than 100,000 virus copies/mL
important counseling point for rilpivirine
take with meals, but NOT with antacids, H2 antagonists, or PPIS
AE rilpivirine
rash, depression, hepatotoxicity, fat redistribution, QT prolongation
name an NNRTI that is CONTRAINDICATED with CYP3A4 inducers
doravirine
what is an advantage of doravirine over other NNRTIs
It is less hepatotoxic and has a better lipid profile than the others
which 3 NNRTIS are considered 2nd generation
etravirine
rilipivirine
doravirine
name 3 protease inhibitors
atazanavir
darunavir
ritonavir
explain the MOA of protease inhibitors
prevent the breakdown of polyprotein into smaller proteins which come together to form a new virus
inhibits aspartyl protease.
normally, protease breaks the peptide bond between phenylalanine and proline. but when protease is blocked it can;t do this and protein maturation is affected
protease inhibitors mimic what structure
peptide
true or false
protease inhibitors for HIV have much less affinity for human proteases
TRUE - this is good - prevent side effects
true or false
protease inhibitors are administered alone
FALSE
bc of mutations and resistance - need multiple drugs
some AE of protease inhibitors
dyslipidemia (cushingoid appearance)
cardiac conduction issues (WT prolongation)
hepatotoxicity
DDI concern with protease inhibitors
they are metabolized by CYP3A4 and are substrates of P-gp efflux pump
only PI contraindicated in pregnancy
fosamprenavir + ritonavir
atazanavir counseling point
take with meals. acidic medium is good for absorption
true or false
atazanavir is recommended in pregnancy
TRUE
only one that isnt is the oral solution of fosamprenavir + ritonavir
how is the AE of atazanavir unlike other protease inhibitors?
NO dyslipidemia!!
also hyperbilirubinemia is a concern (jaundice)
darunavir is a protease inhibitor that must be coadministered with ______
ritonavir
AE concern with darunavir
has sulfa group!!!! watch out for hypersensitivity
true or false
darunavir has less frequent dyslipidemia than other protease inhibitors
true
fosamprenavir is a prodrug of _______
amprenavir
what is fosamprenavir administered with
low dose ritonavir
which 2 protease inhibitors have a hypersensitivity concern due to their sulfa group
darunavir
fosamprenavir
WHY is fosamprenavir + low dose ritonavir not given in young children and in pregnancy?
the oral solution has propylene glycol
true or false
ritonavir is recommended in pregnancy
TRUE
alone, it’s fine
