Severe skin reactions, accompanied by fever and/or elevations of transaminases reported (0.4%); Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (<0.1%), toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis also reported
Caution with elderly patients
Caution with hepatic impairment (not recommended if severe)
Contains a sulfa moiety; monitor patients with a known sulfonamide allergy
Increase in total cholesterol and triglycerides reported; screen before therapy and throughout treatment
Pancreatitis reported; use caution in patients at risk for pancreatitis (those with elevated triglycerids, history of pancreatitis, or advanced HIV disease
Risk of immune reconstitution syndrome
Redistribution/accumulation of body fat, including central obesity, dorsocervical fat enlargement (buffalo hump), peripheral wasting, facial wasting, breast enlargement, and “cushingoid appearance” have been observed in patients receiving antiretroviral therapy
Patients may develop new onset diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia; initiation or dose adjustments of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents may be required
Patients with hemophilia may develop increased bleeding events
Not for use in patients < 3 years of age; toxicity may occur
Hepatoxicity
- Risk of hepatotoxicity including drug induced hepatitis: acute hepatitis, cytolytic hepatitis
- Especially with preexisting liver dysfunction (chronic hepatitis B or C)
- Interrupt or discontinue treatment if new/worsening liver dysfunction develops
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
The recommended dosage in pregnant patients is 600 mg taken with ritonavir 100 mg twice daily with food; darunavir 800 mg taken with ritonavir 100 mg once daily should only be considered in certain pregnant patients who are already on a stable darunavir 800 mg with ritonavir 100 mg once daily regimen prior to pregnancy, are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL), and in whom a change to twice daily darunavir 600 mg with ritonavir 100 mg may compromise tolerability or compliance
Prospective pregnancy data from APR are not sufficient to adequately assess risk of birth defects or miscarriage; available data from APR show no statistically significant difference in overall risk of major birth defects for darunavir and cobicistat compared with background rate for major birth defects of 2.7% in a U.S. reference population of Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP)
Use of darunavir may reduce the efficacy of combined hormonal contraceptives and the progestin-only pill; advice patients using combined hormonal contraceptives or the progestin-only pill to use an effective alternative contraceptive method or add a barrier method of contraception; for co-administration with drospirenone, clinical monitoring recommended due to potential for hyperkalemia
Lactation
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that HIV-infected mothers not breastfeed their infants to avoid risking postnatal transmission of HIV
There are no data on the presence of darunavir in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production; because of the potential for (1) HIV transmission (in HIV-negative infants), (2) developing viral resistance (in HIV-positive infants) and (3) serious adverse reactions in a breastfed infant, instruct mothers not to breastfeed if they are receiving darunavir
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology

DARUNAVIR - ORAL
(dar-YOU-nah-veer)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Prezista
USES: This drug is used with other HIV medications to help control HIV infection. It helps to decrease the amount of HIV in your body so your immune system can work better. This lowers your chance of getting HIV complications (such as new infections, cancer) and improves your quality of life.Darunavir belongs to a class of drugs known as protease inhibitors. Darunavir must be given with certain other medications (such as cobicistat, ritonavir) to increase ("boost") the levels of darunavir. This helps darunavir work better.Darunavir is not a cure for HIV infection. To decrease your risk of spreading HIV disease to others, continue to take all HIV medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Use an effective barrier method (latex or polyurethane condoms/dental dams) during sexual activity as directed by your doctor. Do not share personal items (such as needles/syringes, toothbrushes, and razors) that may have contacted blood or other body fluids. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.This medication is not recommended for use in children younger than 3 years due to the increased risk of serious side effects.
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking darunavir and each time you get a refill. If you are using the liquid form of this medication, carefully read the Instructions for Use provided with the medication. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth with food as directed by your doctor. Darunavir must be taken at the same time as certain other medications, usually once or twice a day. (See also Uses section.) If you have trouble swallowing the tablets, ask your doctor if you should use the liquid form.If you are using the liquid form of this medication, shake the bottle well before each dose. Carefully measure the dose using a special measuring device/spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose.The dosage is based on your age, lab tests, medical condition, and response to treatment. In children, the dosage is also based on body weight.It is very important to continue taking this medication (and other HIV medications) exactly as prescribed by your doctor.For the best effect, take this medication at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, take this medication at the same time(s) every day.Do not take more or less of this drug than prescribed or stop taking it (or other HIV medicines) even for a short time unless directed to do so by your doctor. Skipping or changing your dose without approval from your doctor may cause the amount of virus to increase, make the infection more difficult to treat (resistant), or worsen side effects.
SIDE EFFECTS: Since darunavir is always taken with other HIV medications, it may be difficult to tell whether darunavir is causing certain side effects. However, darunavir is known to cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and headache. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.As your immune system gets stronger, it can begin to fight off infections you already had, possibly causing disease symptoms to come back. You could also have symptoms if your immune system becomes overactive. This reaction may happen at any time (soon after starting HIV treatment or many months later). Get medical help right away if you have any serious symptoms, including: unexplained weight loss, severe tiredness, muscle aches/weakness that doesn't go away, headaches that are severe or don't go away, joint pain, numbness/tingling of the hands/feet/arms/legs, vision changes, signs of infection (such as fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes, trouble breathing, cough, non-healing skin sores), signs of an overactive thyroid (such as irritability, nervousness, heat intolerance, fast/pounding/irregular heartbeat, bulging eyes, unusual growth in the neck/thyroid known as a goiter), signs of a certain nerve problem known as Guillain-Barre syndrome (such as unsteadiness, loss of coordination, trouble swallowing/speaking/chewing, trouble moving your eyes).This medication may rarely make your blood sugar rise, which can cause or worsen diabetes. Tell your doctor right away if you have symptoms of high blood sugar such as increased thirst/urination. If you already have diabetes, check your blood sugar regularly as directed and share the results with your doctor. Your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medication, exercise program, or diet.Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: symptoms of a heart attack (such as chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating), easy bruising/bleeding.This drug may rarely cause serious (possibly fatal) liver problems. Get medical help right away if you have any symptoms of liver damage, including: nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop, severe stomach/abdominal pain, dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin.Changes in body fat may occur while you are taking this medication (such as increased fat in the upper back and stomach areas, decreased fat in the arms and legs). The cause and long-term effects of these changes are unknown. Discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your doctor, as well as the possible use of exercise to reduce this side effect.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.Darunavir can commonly cause a rash that is usually not serious. However, you may not be able to tell it apart from a rare rash that could be a sign of a severe reaction. Get medical help right away if you develop any rash, especially with symptoms such as fever, tiredness, muscle/joint pain, blisters, mouth sores, or red/swollen eyes.This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
PRECAUTIONS: Before taking darunavir, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: liver problems (such as hepatitis B or C), diabetes, a certain bleeding problem (hemophilia), lipid problems (high cholesterol or triglycerides/fats), heart problems (coronary artery disease, heart attack).Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).Tell your doctor if you are pregnant before using this medication. Treatment can lower the risk of passing HIV infection to your baby. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.It is unknown if this medication passes into breast milk. Because breast milk can transmit HIV, do not breast-feed.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.Some of the products that may interact with this drug include: orlistat, certain drugs used to treat seizures (such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, primidone), barbiturates (such as phenobarbital, secobarbital), a certain combination HIV medication (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir).Darunavir can slow down the removal of other drugs from your body, which may affect how they work. Examples of affected drugs include certain alpha blockers (such as alfuzosin, tamsulosin), certain benzodiazepines (midazolam, triazolam), bosutinib, dronedarone, ergot alkaloids (such as dihydroergotamine, ergotamine), certain drugs to treat erectile dysfunction-ED or pulmonary hypertension (such as avanafil, sildenafil), lomitapide, pimozide, ranolazine, rivaroxaban, salmeterol, certain "statin" cholesterol drugs (such as lovastatin, simvastatin), tolvaptan, among others.Other medications can affect the removal of darunavir from your body, which may affect how darunavir works. Examples include apalutamide, garlic supplements, certain rifamycins (rifampin, rifapentine), St. John's Wort, among others.This medication may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal birth control such as pills, patch, or ring. This could cause pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about additional or alternative reliable forms of birth control, and use an effective barrier method (latex or polyurethane condoms/dental dams) during sexual activity to decrease the risk of spreading HIV to others. Tell your doctor if you have any new spotting or breakthrough bleeding, because these may be signs that your hormonal birth control is not working well.Do not take this medication with other products that contain darunavir.
