irbesartan and maraviroc (Moderate Drug-Drug)

MONITOR: Maraviroc may potentiate the hypotensive effect of some medications. In clinical trials, symptomatic postural hypotension was observed more often with maraviroc than with placebo when administered to healthy volunteers at higher than recommended dosages. However, when given at the recommended dosage to HIV subjects, postural hypotension occurred at a rate similar to placebo (approximately 0.5%).

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when maraviroc is prescribed to patients on concomitant medications known to lower blood pressure. Close monitoring for development of hypotension is recommended. Ambulatory patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their doctor if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.
