Consumer:Cimetidine may increase the blood levels and effects of etravirine. This may increase the risk of serious side effects such as nerve damage. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience numbness, burning, or tingling in your hands and feet. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 2C19, 2C9, and/or 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of etravirine, which is a substrate of these isoenzymes.
MANAGEMENT: Because safety data regarding increased etravirine exposures are limited, caution is advised if etravirine is prescribed in combination with CYP450 2C19, 2C9, and/or 3A4 inhibitors.
