Acid Reducing Agents: antacids e.g., aluminum and magnesium hydroxide | ↓ elvitegravir | Separate GENVOYA and antacid administration by at least 2 hours. |
Antiarrhythmics: e.g., amiodarone bepridil digoxin disopyramide flecainide systemic lidocaine mexiletine propafenone quinidine | ↑ antiarrhythmics ↑ digoxin | Caution is warranted and therapeutic concentration monitoring, if available, is recommended for antiarrhythmics when coadministered with GENVOYA. |
Antibacterials: clarithromycin telithromycin | ↑ clarithromycin ↑ telithromycin ↑ cobicistat | Patients with CLcr greater than or equal to 60 mL/minute: No dosage adjustment of clarithromycin is required. Patients with CLcr between 50 mL/minute and 60 mL/minute: The dosage of clarithromycin should be reduced by 50%. |
Anticoagulants: warfarin | Effect on warfarin unknown | Monitor the international normalized ratio (INR) upon coadministration with GENVOYA. |
Anticonvulsants: ethosuximide oxcarbazepine | ↑ ethosuximide ↓ elvitegravir ↓ cobicistat ↓ TAF | For contraindicated anticonvulsants, [see Contraindications (4)]
Alternative anticonvulsants should be considered when GENVOYA is administered with oxcarbazepine.
Clinical monitoring is recommended upon coadministration of ethosuximide with GENVOYA. |
Antidepressants: Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) e.g., paroxetine
Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs) e.g., amitriptyline desipramine imipramine nortriptyline bupropion
trazodone | ↑ SSRIs (except sertraline) ↑ TCAs ↑ trazodone | Careful dosage titration of the antidepressant and monitoring for antidepressant response are recommended when coadministered with GENVOYA. |
Antifungals: itraconazole ketoconazole voriconazole | ↑ elvitegravir ↑ cobicistat ↑ itraconazole ↑ ketoconazole ↑ voriconazole | When administering with GENVOYA, the maximum daily dosage of ketoconazole or itraconazole should not exceed 200 mg per day. An assessment of benefit/risk ratio is recommended to justify use of voriconazole with GENVOYA. |
Anti-gout: colchicine | ↑ colchicine | GENVOYA is not recommended to be coadministered with colchicine to patients with renal or hepatic impairment.
Treatment of gout-flares – coadministration of colchicine in patients receiving GENVOYA:
0.6 mg (1 tablet) × 1 dose, followed by 0.3 mg (half tablet) 1 hour later. Treatment course to be repeated no earlier than 3 days.
Prophylaxis of gout-flares – coadministration of colchicine in patients receiving GENVOYA:
If the original regimen was 0.6 mg twice a day, the regimen should be adjusted to 0.3 mg once a day. If the original regimen was 0.6 mg once a day, the regimen should be adjusted to 0.3 mg once every other day.
Treatment of familial Mediterranean fever – coadministration of colchicine in patients receiving GENVOYA:
Maximum daily dosage of 0.6 mg (may be given as 0.3 mg twice a day). |
Antimycobacterial: rifabutin rifapentine | ↓ elvitegravir ↓ cobicistat ↓ TAF | For contraindicated antimycobacterials, [see Contraindications (4)]
Coadministration of GENVOYA with rifabutin or rifapentine is not recommended. |
Antipsychotics: e.g., perphenazine risperidone thioridazine quetiapine | ↑ antipsychotic ↑ quetiapine | For contraindicated antipsychotics, [see Contraindications (4)]
A decrease in dose of the antipsychotics that are metabolized by CYP3A or CYP2D6 may be needed when co-administered with GENVOYA. Initiation of GENVOYA in patients taking quetiapine: Consider alternative antiretroviral therapy to avoid increases in quetiapine exposure. If coadministration is necessary, reduce the quetiapine dose to 1/6 of the current dose and monitor for quetiapine-associated adverse reactions. Refer to the quetiapine prescribing information for recommendations on adverse reaction monitoring. Initiation of quetiapine in patients taking GENVOYA: Refer to the quetiapine prescribing information for initial dosing and titration of quetiapine. |
Benzodiazepines: e.g., Parenterally administered midazolam clorazepate diazepam estazolam flurazepam lorazepam | ↑ diazepam ↔ lorazepam ↑ midazolam | Coadministration of GENVOYA with diazepam or parenterally administered midazolam should be done in a setting that ensures close clinical monitoring and appropriate medical management in case of respiratory depression and/or prolonged sedation. Dosage reduction for midazolam should be considered, especially if more than a single dose of midazolam is administered. Based on non-CYP-mediated elimination pathways for lorazepam, no effect on plasma concentrations is expected upon coadministration with GENVOYA. |
Beta-Blockers: e.g., metoprolol timolol | ↑ beta-blockers | Clinical monitoring is recommended and a dosage decrease of the beta blocker may be necessary when these agents are coadministered with GENVOYA. |
Calcium Channel Blockers: e.g., amlodipine diltiazem felodipine nicardipine nifedipine verapamil | ↑ calcium channel blockers | Caution is warranted and clinical monitoring is recommended upon coadministration of calcium channel blockers with GENVOYA. |
Systemic/Inhaled/Nasal/Ophthalmic Corticosteroids: e.g., betamethasone budesonide ciclesonide dexamethasone
fluticasone methylprednisolone mometasone prednisone triamcinolone | ↓ elvitegravir ↓ cobicistat ↑ corticosteroids | Coadministration with oral dexamethasone or other systemic corticosteroids that induce CYP3A may result in loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance to elvitegravir. Consider alternative corticosteroids. Coadministration with corticosteroids whose exposures are significantly increased by strong CYP3A inhibitors can increase the risk for Cushing's syndrome and adrenal suppression. Alternative corticosteroids including beclomethasone and prednisolone (whose PK and/or PD are less affected by strong CYP3A inhibitors relative to other studied steroids) should be considered, particularly for long-term use [see Drug Interactions (7.6)]. |
Endothelin Receptor Antagonists: bosentan | ↑ bosentan | Coadministration of bosentan in patients on GENVOYA: In patients who have been receiving GENVOYA for at least 10 days, start bosentan at 62.5 mg once daily or every other day based upon individual tolerability. Coadministration of GENVOYA in patients on bosentan: Discontinue use of bosentan at least 36 hours prior to initiation of GENVOYA. After at least 10 days following the initiation of GENVOYA, resume bosentan at 62.5 mg once daily or every other day based upon individual tolerability. |
HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors: atorvastatin | ↑ atorvastatin | For contraindicated HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, [see Contraindications (4)]
Initiate with the lowest starting dose of atorvastatin and titrate carefully while monitoring for safety. |
Hormonal Contraceptives: drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol norgestimate/ethinyl estradiol | ↑ drospirenone ↑ norgestimate ↓ ethinyl estradiol | Plasma concentrations of drospirenone may be increased when coadministered with cobicistat-containing products. Clinical monitoring is recommended due to the potential for hyperkalemia. The effects of increases in the concentration of the progestational component norgestimate are not fully known and can include increased risk of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, acne, and venous thrombosis. The potential risks and benefits associated with coadministration of norgestimate/ethinyl estradiol with GENVOYA should be considered, particularly in women who have risk factors for these events. The effect of GENVOYA on other hormonal contraceptives (e.g., contraceptive patch, contraceptive vaginal ring, or injectable contraceptives) or oral contraceptives containing progestogens other than drospirenone and norgestimate is not known; therefore, alternative (non-hormonal) methods of contraception can be considered. |
Immuno-suppressants: e.g., cyclosporine (CsA) sirolimus tacrolimus | ↑ immuno-suppressants ↑ elvitegravir (with CsA) ↑ cobicistat (with CsA) | Therapeutic monitoring of the immunosuppressive agents is recommended upon coadministration with GENVOYA. Monitor for adverse events associated with GENVOYA when coadministered with cyclosporine. |
Narcotic Analgesics: buprenorphine/ naloxone | ↑ buprenorphine ↑ norbuprenorphine ↓ naloxone | No dosage adjustment of buprenorphine/naloxone is required upon coadministration with GENVOYA. Patients should be closely monitored for sedation and cognitive effects. |
Inhaled Beta Agonist: salmeterol | ↑ salmeterol | Coadministration of salmeterol and GENVOYA is not recommended. Coadministration of salmeterol with GENVOYA may result in increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events associated with salmeterol, including QT prolongation, palpitations, and sinus tachycardia. |
Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) Inhibitors: sildenafil tadalafil vardenafil | ↑ PDE5 inhibitors | For contraindicated PDE-5 inhibitors, [see Contraindications (4)]
Coadministration with GENVOYA may result in an increase in PDE-5 inhibitor associated adverse reactions, including hypotension, syncope, visual disturbances, and priapism. Use of PDE-5 inhibitors for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH): Use of sildenafil is contraindicated when used for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The following dose adjustments are recommended for the use of tadalafil with GENVOYA: Coadministration of tadalafil in patients on GENVOYA: In patients receiving GENVOYA for at least 1 week, start tadalafil at 20 mg once daily. Increase tadalafil dose to 40 mg once daily based upon individual tolerability. Coadministration of GENVOYA in patients on tadalafil: Avoid use of tadalafil during the initiation of GENVOYA. Stop tadalafil at least 24 hours prior to starting GENVOYA. After at least one week following initiation of GENVOYA, resume tadalafil at 20 mg once daily. Increase tadalafil dose to 40 mg once daily based upon individual tolerability.
Use of PDE-5 inhibitors for erectile dysfunction: Sildenafil at a single dose not exceeding 25 mg in 48 hours, vardenafil at a single dose not exceeding 2.5 mg in 72 hours, or tadalafil at a single dose not exceeding 10 mg in 72 hours can be used with increased monitoring for PDE-5 inhibitor associated with adverse events. |
Sedative/hypnotics: buspirone zolpidem | ↑ sedatives/hypnotics | For contraindicated sedative/hypnotics, [see Contraindications (4)]
With sedative/hypnotics, dose reduction may be necessary and clinical monitoring is recommended. |
