ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly enhances the oral bioavailability of boceprevir. When given at 800 mg three times daily with food, boceprevir exposure increased by up to 65% relative to administration in the fasting state. The bioavailability of boceprevir was similar regardless of meal type (e.g., high-fat versus low-fat) or whether taken 5 minutes prior to eating, during a meal, or immediately following completion of the meal. Therefore, boceprevir may be taken without regard to either meal type or timing of the meal.
MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, boceprevir should be administered with a meal or light snack.
