Cabotegravir/rilpivirine is a long-acting injectable for HIV infection, used in patients who have attained viral suppression on another antiretroviral regimen. Drugs that induce cytochrome CYP3A enzymes significantly decrease plasma concentrations of cabotegravir and/or rilpivirine, which may cause a dangerous loss of virologic response. These drugs include rifampin, dexamethasone, and oxcarbazepine.
