Monitor/Modify Tx

Smiley face Smiley face Atripla (efavirenz/ emtricitabine/ tenofovir disoproxil) + Dovato (dolutegravir/ lamivudine)

Monitor/Modify Tx


efavirenz + dolutegravir

give additional dolutegravir dose 12h after fixed-dose combo when dolutegravir is given as part of a fixed-dose combo; otherwise, incr. dolutegravir dose frequency to bid in tx-naive or tx-experienced INSTI-naive pts; consider alternatives in INSTI-experienced pts w/ INSTI resistance: combo may decr. dolutegravir levels, efficacy (hepatic metabolism induced, UGT induced, P-gp-mediated transport induced)

Smiley face Smiley face Dovato (dolutegravir/ lamivudine) + Gelusil (aluminum hydroxide/ magnesium hydroxide/ simethicone)

Monitor/Modify Tx


dolutegravir + aluminum hydroxide

give aluminum hydroxide 6h before or 4h after dolutegravir when given in combo w/ rilpivirine as a complete regimen; otherwise, give aluminum hydroxide 6h before or 2h after dolutegravir: combo may decr. dolutegravir levels, efficacy (absorption decreased via chelation)

dolutegravir + magnesium hydroxide

give magnesium hydroxide 6h before or 4h after dolutegravir when given in combo w/ rilpivirine as a complete regimen; otherwise, give magnesium hydroxide 6h before or 2h after dolutegravir: combo may decr. dolutegravir levels, efficacy (absorption decreased via chelation)

Additional Considerations

Smiley face Smiley face lamivudine in Dovato

avoid combo of lamivudine oral solution with oral products containing sorbitol; may give lamivudine tab formulation or monitor virologic response more frequently if combo cannot be avoided; sorbitol may decr. bioavailability of lamivudine, resulting in decr. levels, efficacy
