Interactions between your drugs
omeprazole rilpivirine
Applies to: omeprazole and rilpivirine
Using rilpivirine together with omeprazole is not recommended. By reducing the acidity level in the stomach, omeprazole can decrease the absorption and blood levels of rilpivirine and make the medication less effective against HIV. Talk to a healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor or pharmacist may be able to recommend alternatives that do not interact (or interact to a lesser extent) if you require treatment for stomach acid or ulcer while you are being treated with rilpivirine. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Drug and food interactions
