Background: Around half the US population uses dietary supplements (DS), and concomitant use with medications is common. Many DS include bioactive substances that can interact with medications; therefore, accurate tracking is critical for patient safety. Unfortunately, documentation of patients' DS use is often missing or incomplete in the electronic medical record (EMR), leaving patients susceptible to potential adverse events.

Objectives: Fostemsavir, a prodrug of temsavir, is indicated for heavily treatment-experienced adults with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 infection, antiretroviral (ARV) intolerance, or safety considerations. Understanding drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is important in individuals taking fostemsavir with hormonal contraceptives or menopausal or gender-affirming hormonal therapies.

Methods: Effect of temsavir (active moiety) on the pharmacokinetics of ethinyl estradiol (EE) and norethindrone (NET) was evaluated in an open-label, single-sequence, four-cycle, four-treatment study in 26 healthy female participants (study 206279, NCT02480881).

Background: More than 170 million adults use dietary supplements (DS) in the United States, which can have both benefit and harm to patient health. DS use is often poorly documented in the medical record and can pose health risks if not properly communicated with providers. Reasons for poor DS documentation include low disclosure rates, time constraints of clinical encounters, and providers' failure to inquire about DS use.
