Drug Interactions between AccessPak for HIV PEP Expanded with Viracept and Stromectol
This report displays the potential drug interactions for the following 2 drugs:
- AccessPak for HIV PEP Expanded with Viracept (emtricitabine/nelfinavir/tenofovir)
- Stromectol (ivermectin)
Interactions between your drugs
ivermectin nelfinavir
Applies to: Stromectol (ivermectin) and AccessPak for HIV PEP Expanded with Viracept (emtricitabine / nelfinavir / tenofovir)
MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of ivermectin and the risk of adverse effects. The proposed mechanism, based on in vitro data, is decreased clearance due to inhibition of CYP450 3A4, the primary isoenzyme responsible for the metabolic clearance of ivermectin.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when ivermectin must be used concomitantly with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

Drug and food interactions
tenofovir food
Applies to: AccessPak for HIV PEP Expanded with Viracept (emtricitabine / nelfinavir / tenofovir)
Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of tenofovir, the active entity of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. According to the product labeling, administration of the drug following a high-fat meal increased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of tenofovir by approximately 14% and 40%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasting state. However, administration with a light meal did not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of tenofovir compared to administration in the fasting state. Food delays the time to reach tenofovir Cmax by approximately 1 hour. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may be administered without regard to meals.
