Professional:ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Concurrent administration of didanosine may decrease the bioavailability of indinavir, since indinavir requires normal gastric pH for optimal absorption and didanosine is formulated with buffer agents that decrease gastric pH.
MANAGEMENT: If concomitant therapy is desired, the two medications should be taken at least one hour apart on an empty stomach.
