Use standard doses of both drugs.
Significant interaction not anticipated.
Dolutegravir is not an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 enzymes, major UGTs, or P-glycoprotein and does not induce CYP3A. It is primarily metabolized via UGT1A1 with some contribution from CYP3A. Dolutegravir is not a substrate of OATP1B1 or OATP1B3.
Dolutegravir should be administered 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking medications containing polyvalent cations (Mg, Al, Fe, Ca)
Effect of Dolutegravir on the Kinetics of Other Agents
Effect of Other Agents on the Pharmacokinetics of Dolutegravir
Tivicay®:
Treatment-naïve or treatment experienced INSTI-naïve:
50 mg daily with or without food
Co-administered with potent UGT1A/CYP3A inducers OR INSTI- associated resistance:
50 mg twice daily with or without food
Dolutegravir film-coated tablets must be swallowed whole.
Triumeq®:
1 tablet daily with or without food (treatment-naïve or treatment experienced INSTI-naïve only)
Juluca®:
1 tablet daily with a meal
Dolutegravir plasma concentrations increased in a less than dose- proportional manner above 50 mg.
Bioequivalence of a fixed-dose combination of dolutegravir 50 mg, abacavir 600 mg and lamivudine 300 mg compared to dolutegravir administered as a single agent and abacavir/lamivudine administered as a combined agent.2987
Children
At doses of ~1 mg/kg once daily, adequate mean AUC and C24 were achieved in HIV-infected children between 6-11 years of age.2985
Obese adults
In a PBPK model, dolutegravir Cmax and AUC were predicted to be reduced by 13% and 3%, respectively, in obese (BMI 30-40 kg/m2) vs. non-obese (BM 18.5-30 kg/m2) individuals. Dose adjustment of dolutegravir is not required in this population.3578
Cervicovaginal fluid (CVF) concentrations
A total of 8 healthy females given DTG 50 mg daily for 5–7 days had 11 paired blood plasma (BP) and cervicovaginal fluid (CVF) samples collected over 24 h following the first dose (PK1) and multiple dosing (PK2). Each woman underwent cervical tissue (CT) and vaginal tissue (VT) biopsies at 1/4 time points at PK1 and PK2. After single and multiple dosing, CVF concentrations were approximately 6% of blood plasma exposure with low inter-individual variability. After multiple dosing, CT and VT exposures were 9-10% of blood plasma concentrations. After multiple dosing, DTG accumulated to a greater extent in tissue than in blood plasma or CVF, suggesting increased tissue affinity.2977
Colorectal tissue concentrations
Following single-dose, colorectal tissue concentrations were approximately 18 % of plasma concentrations.2979
Vitamin B1 is metabolized in the liver. When large doses are administered, body stores may become saturated, and unchanged vitamin B1 may be renally excreted.
