            Cautions

            Also see Dosage Modifications

            Do not use proton-pump inhibitors in treatment-experienced patients

            Discontinue if severe rash; Stevens-Johnson syndrome, erythema multiforme, or toxic skin eruptions reported, including drug rash, eosinophilia, and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome; discontinue if severe rash develops

            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

            Spontaneous bleeding may occur and additional factor VIII may be required

            PR interval prolongation may occur in some patients; ECG monitoring should be considered in patients with preexisting conduction system disease or when administered with other drugs that may prolong the PR interval; because of limited clinical experience with preexisting conduction system disease (eg, marked first-degree AV block or second- or third-degree AV block), ECG monitoring should be considered

            Most patients experience asymptomatic increases in indirect bilirubin, which is reversible upon discontinuation; do not dose reduce; if concomitant transaminase increase occurs, evaluate for alternative etiologies

            Chronic kidney disease in HIV-infected patients treated with atazanavir, with or without ritonavir, has been reported during postmarketing surveillance; consider alternative therapy in patients at high risk for renal disease or with preexisting renal disease; conduct renal laboratory testing (including serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, and urinalysis with microscopic examination) in all patients prior to and during therapy; expert consultation advised for patients who have confirmed renal laboratory abnormalities while on treatment; in patients with progressive kidney disease, consider discontinuing therapy

            Nephrolithiasis and cholelithiasis reported; consider temporary interruption or discontinuation

            Treatment-experienced patients with prior virologic failure: without ritonavir not recommended

            Patients receiving atazanavir may develop new onset or exacerbations of diabetes mellitus/hyperglycemia, immune reconstitution syndrome, and redistribution/accumulation of body fat

            Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves’ disease, polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and autoimmune hepatitis) also been reported to occur in setting of immune reconstitution; however, time to onset is more variable, and can occur many months after initiation of treatment

            Patients with hepatitis B or C infection are at risk of increased transaminases or hepatic decompensation; monitor hepatic laboratory tests prior to therapy and during treatment

            Most patients experience asymptomatic increases in indirect bilirubin, which is reversible upon discontinuation; do not dose reduce; if a concomitant transaminase increase occurs, evaluate for alternative etiologies.

            Oral powder contains phenylalanine which can be harmful to patients with phenylketonuria

            Drug interactions overview

            • Also see Contraindications
            • Initiation of atazanavir with ritonavir, a CYP3A inhibitor: Patients receiving medications metabolized by CYP3A, may increase plasma concentrations of medications metabolized by CYP3A
            • Initiation of CYP3A4 inducers/inhibitors may increase or decrease concentrations of atazanavir with ritonavir, respectively
            • Interactions may lead to clinically significant adverse reactions potentially leading to severe, life-threatening, or fatal events from greater exposures of concomitant medications; clinically significant adverse reactions from greater exposures of atazanavir with ritonavir, or loss of therapeutic effect of atazanavir with ritonavir and possible development of resistance

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to therapy during pregnancy; healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) at 1-800-258-4263

            Atazanavir has been evaluated in a limited number of women during pregnancy; available human and animal data suggest that atazanavir does not increase risk of major birth defects overall compared to background rate

            Therapy must be administered with ritonavir in pregnant women

            Dosage modifications

            • No dosage adjustment is required with the following exceptions
            • Treatment-experienced pregnant women during second or third trimester, when therapy is coadministered with either an H2-receptor antagonist or tenofovir DF, a dose of 400 mg with ritonavir 100 mg once daily recommended
            • There are insufficient data to recommend with both an H2-receptor antagonist and tenofovir DF in treatment-experienced pregnant women
            • No dosage adjustment is required for postpartum patients; however, patients should be closely monitored for adverse events because atazanavir exposures could be higher during first 2 months after delivery

            Maternal adverse reactions

            • Cases of lactic acidosis syndrome, sometimes fatal, and symptomatic hyperlactatemia have occurred in pregnant women receiving therapy in combination with nucleoside analogues, which are associated with an increased risk of lactic acidosis syndrome
            • Hyperbilirubinemia occurs frequently in patients who receive therapy; advise pregnant women of the potential risks of lactic acidosis syndrome and hyperbilirubinemia

            Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions

            • All infants, including neonates exposed to therapy in utero, should be monitored for development of severe hyperbilirubinemia during first few days of life

            Lactation

            The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that HIV-1 infected mothers not breastfeed infants to avoid risking postnatal transmission of HIV-1

            Atazanavir has been detected in human milk; no data available regarding atazanavir effects on milk production; atazanavir was present in milk of lactating rats and was associated with neonatal growth retardation that reversed after weaning

            Because of both the potential for HIV-1 transmission and potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants, advise women not to breastfeed

            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.

            ATAZANAVIR - ORAL

            (A-ta-ZAN-a-vir)

            COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Reyataz

            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.Atazanavir belongs to a class of drugs known as protease inhibitors. It may be given with certain other medications (such as cobicistat, ritonavir) to increase ("boost") the levels of atazanavir. This helps atazanavir work better.Atazanavir 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.

            HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking atazanavir and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once daily with food. Do not open, crush, or chew the capsules. Swallow the capsules whole.If you are taking atazanavir with certain other medications (such as cobicistat, ritonavir), take them at the same time.Since this medication may cause kidney problems, drink plenty of fluids during treatment to lower your risk.The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. For children, the dosage is also based on weight. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products). If you are directed to take ritonavir with this medication, take them both at the same time.If you are taking antacids or buffered forms of drugs (such as didanosine solution, didanosine enteric-coated capsules), take atazanavir at least 2 hours before or 1 hour after these medications.For the best effect, take this medication at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, take this medication at the same time every day.It is very important to continue taking this medication (and other HIV medications) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip any doses. 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. Doing so may cause the amount of virus to increase, make the infection more difficult to treat (resistant), or worsen side effects.

            SIDE EFFECTS: Headache or nausea may occur. If either of these effects lasts or gets 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).Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: increased thirst/urination, dizziness, lightheadedness, signs of kidney problems (such as pain in side/back/abdomen, painful urination, blood in the urine, change in the amount of urine), signs of liver problems (such as nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop, loss of appetite, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine).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.Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: signs of a heart attack (such as chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating).Atazanavir can commonly cause a rash that is usually not serious.

HIV infection can also cause this effect. This could increase your risk for heart problems such as a heart attack. Discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your doctor and ways to lower your risk of heart disease. Tell your doctor if you have heart problems, if you smoke, or if you have other conditions that increase your risk of heart disease such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol/triglyceride levels.Before having surgery, tell your doctors or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).Atazanavir should not be given to children younger than 3 months because of the risk of very serious side effects.Tell your doctor if you are pregnant before using this medication.

            DRUG INTERACTIONS: See also How to Use section.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 products that may interact with this drug include: certain medications used to treat chronic hepatitis C (such as elbasvir/grazoprevir, glecaprevir/pibrentasvir), a certain combination HIV medication (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir), indinavir, nevirapine, orlistat, saquinavir.Other medications can affect the removal of atazanavir from your body, which may affect how atazanavir works. Examples include apalutamide, bosentan, efavirenz, etravirine, certain rifamycins (such as rifampin, rifapentine), certain drugs used to treat seizures (such as carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone), St. John's wort, among others.Atazanavir can slow down the removal of other medications from your body, which may affect how they work. Examples of affected drugs include certain alpha blockers (such as alfuzosin, silodosin), certain benzodiazepines (midazolam, triazolam), ergot alkaloids (such as dihydroergotamine, ergotamine), irinotecan, lomitapide, pimozide, certain drugs to treat erectile dysfunction-ED or pulmonary hypertension (such as avanafil, sildenafil), certain "statin" cholesterol drugs (lovastatin, simvastatin), salmeterol, among others.Prescription and nonprescription drugs to treat heartburn, indigestion, or ulcers (including H2 blockers such as famotidine, proton pump inhibitors such as lansoprazole/omeprazole) reduce stomach acid and decrease the absorption of atazanavir. This may prevent atazanavir from working well. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how to use these medications safely.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.
