Description
Summary:• Can low NVP plasma concentrations explain the results seen in the EFV and NVP containing arms of the NARVAL study? • Up to one third of patients receiving standard doses of NNRTIs may be being underdosed • Nelfinavir concentrations are significantly higher in HIV/HCV co-infected patients with cirrhosis • Less diarrhoea and bioequivalence with the new nelfinavir 625mg tablet • The potential for probenecid to have a serious interaction with HIV-1 protease inhibitors • PK studies reveal significant sex/gender differences • Pregnancy-related PK studies • New test to measure intracellular levels of nucleosides • Case studies for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) • Launch of guide to use of drug level monitoring
