Contact your doctor if your condition changes during treatment with these medications. 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.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of efavirenz, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme.

MANAGEMENT: Given the risk of reduced viral susceptibility and resistance development associated with subtherapeutic antiretroviral drug levels, caution is advised if efavirenz is prescribed in combination with CYP450 3A4 inducers. Close clinical and laboratory monitoring of antiretroviral response is recommended. Alternative treatment that do not affect efavirenz metabolism should be considered whenever possible.
