In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Using sodium bicarbonate together with atazanavir may decrease the effects of atazanavir. Atazanavir should be administered 2 hours before or 1 hour after sodium bicarbonate. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both 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.

Professional:

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Concurrent administration of antacids or other agents with acid-neutralizing effects may decrease the oral bioavailability of atazanavir and substantially reduce its concentrations in plasma. Atazanavir solubility decreases with increasing pH, thus reduction in gastric acidity may interfere with dissolution of the drug. Subtherapeutic antiretroviral drug levels may lead to reduced viral susceptibility and development of resistance.

MANAGEMENT: Atazanavir should be administered 2 hours before or 1 hour after antacids or other oral agents with acid-neutralizing effects.
