🗑
Which NRTI has the best CNS penetration?   zidovudine (Retrovir)  
🗑
What is zidovudine's black box warning?   Associated with bone marrow suppression and/or pancytopenia; for monitoring, assess MCV after 4 weeks (it should be >100)

NRTI class side effects   lactic acidosis and GI (N/V, diarrhea)  
🗑
Which NRTIs have peripheral neuropathy as a side effect?   stavudine (Zerit) and didanosine (Videx)  
🗑
NNRTI class side effects   Rash (greatest with nevirapine)  
🗑
Which NNRTI requires "lead in" dosing?   nevirapine (Viramune); after that, it is BID; must also re-start lead-in dose if it's been >7 days without the medication  
🗑
What are the nevirapine CD4 cut offs?   Use in women with <250 and in men with <400  
🗑
Do you take efavirenz (Sustiva) with food?   NO, on an empty stomach  
🗑
Major side effect of efavirenz (Sustiva)   CNS side effects  
🗑
Dosing frequency: efavirenz (Sustiva)   Once daily  
🗑
Which NNRTI is not effective therapy for HIV-2?   nevirapine (Viramune)  
🗑
Do you take rilpivirine (Edurant) with food?   YES, daily with meal  
🗑
Dosing frequency: rilpivirine   Once daily  
🗑
Which NNRTI has high rate of failure if HIV-RNA level is >100,000?   rilpivirine (Edurant)  
🗑
Which medications should not be given and/or separated from rilpivirine (Edurant)?   Do not use with PPIs; separate from H2RAs and antacids  
🗑
Pregnancy category of rilpivirine   B  
🗑
In whom is nevirapine-related hepatoxicity risk greater?   Females  
🗑
Which NNRTI has a black box warning about severe skin reactions?   nevirapine (Viramune)  
🗑
Dosing frequency: atazanavir   daily  
🗑
Do you take atazanavir (Reyataz) with food?   YES  
🗑
Major side effects of atazanavir (Reyataz)   1) hyperbilirubinemmia 2) PR interval prolongation 3) nephrolithiasis  
🗑
What is the major drug interaction concern with atazanavir (Reyataz)?   The drug requires an acidic environment, so do not give simultaneously with PPIs or H2RAs. Omeprazole max dose is 20mg/day in treatment-naive patients; CI in treatment-experienced patients.  
🗑
Dosing frequency: darunavir (Prezista)   DAILY in treatment-naive; TWICE DAILY in treatment-experienced  
🗑

🗑
In which PI is QTc prolongation especially a concnern?   saquinavir (Invirase)  
🗑
Do you take ritonavir (Norvir) with food?   YES  
🗑
In which PI are PPIs ok to use, but not H2RAs?   fosamprenavir (Lexiva)  
🗑
For lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaltera), when would you increase the number of pills taken?   Increase dose to 3 tablets BID with inducers such as efavirenz or nevirapine  
🗑
Which PI is considered to be lipid neutral?   atazanavir (Reyataz)  
🗑
Dosing frequency: raltegravir (Isentress)   TWICE daily  
🗑
Take raltegravir with food?   It doesn't matter  
🗑
What is an important monitoring aspect regarding raltegravir (Isentress)?   Monitor lipid panel and CPK, as it may cause rhabdomyolysis  
🗑
What is unique about the metabolism of raltegravir (Isentress)? What is one drug that should be used with caution if given concurrently?   UGT1A1-mediated glucoronidation. Rifampin is a strong inducer of UGT1A1, so it will decrease levels of raltegravir.
