Talk to your doctor before using rilpivirine together with nevirapine. Combining these medications may decrease the blood levels of rilpivirine, which may reduce its effectiveness in treating HIV infection. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring 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.

GENERALLY AVOID: The concomitant use of other nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), such as efavirenz, etravirine, and nevirapine, may reduce the plasma concentrations of rilpivirine, which may increase the risk of treatment failure and emergence of drug resistance associated with subtherapeutic levels of rilpivirine. The concomitant use of delavirdine may increase plasma concentrations of rilpivirine.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends against coadministration of rilpivirine with other NNRTIs.
