Ultimo aggiornamento

Per operatori sanitari — solo a scopo di riferimento. Questa pagina è una sintesi breve, non è un parere medico e non sostituisce il RCP ufficiale né il giudizio clinico. Verificare sempre prima di prescrivere o dispensare.

Il contenuto clinico di questa pagina è disponibile solo in inglese.

Sintesi

Atazanavir needs an acidic stomach to dissolve, so esomeprazole can markedly reduce its levels. This may lead to virologic failure and development of resistance.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Atazanavir and Esomeprazole can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Atazanavir belongs to Anti Virals; Esomeprazole belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Higher gastric pH decreases atazanavir solubility and absorption.

Cosa fare

Avoid PPIs in treatment-experienced patients. In treatment-naive patients on ritonavir-boosted atazanavir, keep the PPI dose to an omeprazole 20 mg equivalent, give it about 12 hours before atazanavir, and monitor viral load.

Cosa chiedere al farmacista

  • Does the benefit of taking both outweigh the risk in my case?
  • Do I need any blood test, ECG or other check while on both?
  • What early warning signs should I watch for, and what should I do if they appear?
