    Abstract

    The rapid development of new antiretroviral drugs, along with the evolution in clinical practice toward the recommended use of three- to four-drug combination regimens for achieving optimal suppression of viral replication, has brought the relevance of drug-drug interactions to the forefront of care for HIV-infected individuals. However, the routine clinical interpretation of drug interactions is complicated by our expanding knowledge of the physiologic mechanisms underlying pharmacokinetic interactions, particularly as they relate to drug transport and distribution (eg, P-glycoprotein) and biotransformation (hepatic cytochrome p450 monooxygenase induction and inhibition).
