Warnings
Black box warnings
Hepatotoxicity reported; may be preceded by systemic allergic reaction (eg, pruritic rash, eosinophilia, elevated IgE)
Immediately evaluate if signs or symptoms of hepatitis or allergic reaction occur
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity
Severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (CrCl <30 mL/min) in patients taking potent CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers
Cautions
Risks of hepatotoxicity
Risk of immune reconstitution syndrome if used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs
Autoimmune disorders (eg, Graves’ disease, polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome) reported in the setting of immune reconstitution, however, the time to onset is more variable, and can occur many months after initiation of treatment
Do not use in treatment-naïve patients; more likely to experienced virologic failure and developed lamivudine resistance compared to efavirenz
Tropism testing with a highly sensitive tropism assay is required for the appropriate use
Evaluate if signs/symptoms of hepatitis, increase LFTs, or rash develop
Preexisting liver dysfunction or viral hepatitis B or C coinfection
Patient history of increased risk for cardiovascular events
History of postural hypotension or concomitant use of blood pressure lowering medication
Caution in renal and hepatic impairment
Monitor for developing infections
Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry has been established.to monitor maternal-fetal outcomes of pregnant women; register patients by calling 1-800-258-4263
Pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy category: B
Lactation: breastfeeding not recommended in HIV+ mothers
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 of Selzentry (maraviroc)
Mechanism of action
Selective antagonist of the interaction between human CCR5 and HIV-1 gp120; blocking this interaction prevents CCR5-tropic HIV-1 entry into cells
Absorption
Bioavailability: 23-33%
Peak plasma time: 0.5-4 hr
Peak plasma concentration: 333 ng/mL (330 mg BID)
Distribution
Protein bound: 76%
Vd: 194 L
Metabolism
Metabolized by cytochrome P450 system, with CYP3A as major enzyme of metabolism
Elimination
Half-life: 14-18 hr
Excretion: 76% (feces); 20% (urine)
