Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the effects of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between antiretrovirals (ARVs) and other medications, including over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, on treatment outcomes in real-world settings.
- Between March 2019 and May 2023, 139 clinical cases were reviewed, revealing that most interactions involved common ARV boosters and highlighted frequent DDI issues with CNS and cardiovascular drugs as well as OTC medications.
- The findings emphasize the need for careful medication reconciliation, as OTC drugs often led to reduced efficacy of ARVs and toxicity in certain cases, making real-world case data a vital tool for understanding DDIs in clinical practice.
