2 companies to develop combination pill for HIV treatment
• Not new drugs!

Maraviroc (SelzentryTM)
• First in new class of agents, CCR5 inhibitors• Approved August 6th, 2007• Maraviroc binds to the CCR5 receptor on the
membrane of human cells such as CD4 cells. This binding prevents the interaction of HIV-1 gp120 and human CCR5 which is necessary for entry into the cell. Maraviroc does not prevent HIV-1 entry into CXCR4-tropic or dual-tropic cells.

Zidovudine (AZT, Retrovir®)
• Widely held misconceptions among inmates that this was an experimental way to poison HIV+ inmates
• Perception by inmates that many friends/family died from AZT toxicity in the early years of HIV epidemic can result in reluctance to take this medication
• Correctional provider should point out:– AZT was used in much higher does in those years– At currently used doses, toxicity is greatly reduced.– AZT immunotherapy, while it was the only available treatment at
the time, did not provide an adequate long term response.– The perception that people were dying due to AZT was actually
people dying of AIDS due to lack of an effective treatment.

Lactic Acidosis with Hepatic Steatosis
• Rare complication of NRTI therapy• Signs/Symptoms:
– Abdominal distention, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, difficulty breathing, generalized weakness, myalgias
• Risk Factors:– Stavudine and didanosine use during pregnancy– Female gender– Obesity– Prolonged use of NRTIs
![Page 36: Antiretroviral Therapy: Drugs, Mechanism of Action, Adverse Effects Joanne J. Orrick, Pharm.D., BCPS Clinical Assistant Professor University of Florida.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d845503460f94a6a51a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
NNRTI’s-General Statements• Hepatic metabolism-no renal dosage
adjustments required• Single mutation confers cross resistance to
all available NNRTIs• Due to pill burden and lack of potency,
delavirdine is rarely used• Many P-450 drug interactions• Class adverse effects:
– increased transaminase levels– rash (nevirapine > delavirdine > efavirenz)
![Page 37: Antiretroviral Therapy: Drugs, Mechanism of Action, Adverse Effects Joanne J. Orrick, Pharm.D., BCPS Clinical Assistant Professor University of Florida.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d845503460f94a6a51a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
NNRTI Adverse Effects• Nevirapine:
– Rash (7%), increased transaminase levels, hepatitis• Hepatotoxicty more common in women with pretreatment
CD4+ cell counts > 250 cells/mm3 , men with CD4+ cell counts > 400 cells/mm3 and patients co-infected with hepatitis B or C
• Monitor LFTs minimally at baseline, 2 weeks, monthly for the 1st 3 months in all patients
• Efavirenz:– Rash (1.7%), increased transaminase levels, CNS
