Professional:Coadministration with atovaquone has been shown to slightly decrease the plasma concentrations of trimethoprim (TMP) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The mechanism of interaction is unknown. In six HIV-infected adult volunteers, administration of TMP-SMX (160 mg-800 mg orally twice daily) with atovaquone suspension (500 mg orally once daily) resulted in a 17% and 8% decrease in average steady-state concentrations of TMP and SMX in plasma, respectively, compared to administration without atovaquone. These changes are unlikely to be of clinical significance. TMP-SMX had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of atovaquone.
