Darunavir Disease Interactions

There are 3 disease interactions with darunavir.

Major

Darunavir (applies to darunavir) hepatotoxicity

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Liver Disease

Drug-induced hepatitis has been reported with the use of darunavir/ritonavir. Patients with underlying liver disease including chronic active hepatitis B or C viral infections have an increased risk for liver function abnormalities. Therapy with darunavir should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting liver disease, liver enzyme abnormalities, or hepatitis. The combination of darunavir/ritonavir is not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic impairment.

Moderate

PIs (applies to darunavir) hemophilia

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Coagulation Defect

There have been reports of increased bleeding, including spontaneous skin hematomas and hemarthrosis, in patients with hemophilia type A and B treated with protease inhibitors; however, a causal relationship has not been established. In some patients, additional factor VIII was given. In more than half of the reported cases, protease inhibitor therapy was continued or reintroduced. Patients with hemophilia or other coagulation defects should be monitored closely for bleeding during protease inhibitor therapy.

Moderate

PIs (applies to darunavir) hyperglycemia

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Abnormal Glucose Tolerance

New onset diabetes mellitus, exacerbation of preexisting diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia, and some cases of diabetic ketoacidosis have been reported during postmarketing surveillance in HIV-infected patients treated with protease inhibitors. Some patients required either initiation or dosage adjustments of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents for treatment of these events. In some cases, hyperglycemia persisted despite discontinuation of protease inhibitor therapy. A causal relationship has not been established between protease inhibitor therapy and these events. Monitoring patients for hyperglycemia, new onset diabetes mellitus, or exacerbation of diabetes mellitus should be considered during protease inhibitor therapy.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
