Burden of exposure to potential interactions between antiretroviral and non-antiretroviral medications in a population of HIV-positive patients aged 50 years or older
Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes May 26, 2018
Ranzani A, et al. - Researchers examined HIV-infected patients aged 50 years or older at increased risk of comorbidities and multidrug treatments in order to assess the potential drug–drug interactions (PDDIs) of antiretroviral (ARV) and other medications. Patients aged 50 years or older receiving ARV and non-ARV medications were analyzed in this cross-sectional study. Findings suggested that older patients with HIV are highly exposed to PDDIs between ARVs and comedications. Thereby suggesting the significance of the knowledge of their complete medication regimens and the screening for PDDIs and potentially inappropriate medications for preventing drug-related adverse outcomes in this population.
