Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

didanosine darunavir

Applies to: didanosine and darunavir

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Combination products containing darunavir should be administered with food, which may adversely affect the absorption of didanosine during concurrent administration due to increased acid in the stomach induced by food intake.

MANAGEMENT: Combination products containing darunavir, including darunavir-ritonavir and darunavir-cobicistat should be taken with food at least two hours before or one hour after didanosine.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

didanosine food

Moderate

darunavir food

Applies to: darunavir

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the absorption and oral bioavailability of darunavir administered in combination with low-dose ritonavir. The mechanism is unknown. When administered with food, the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of darunavir were approximately 30% higher than when administered in the fasting state. Darunavir exposure was similar for the range of meals studied. The total caloric content of the various meals evaluated ranged from 240 Kcal (12 grams fat) to 928 Kcal (56 grams fat).

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, darunavir coadministered with ritonavir should be taken with food. The type of food is not important.

Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
