CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
STOCRIN in combination with other antiretroviral agents is indicated
for the treatment of HIV-1
infection.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Therapy should be initiated by a physician experienced in the
management of HIV infection.
Posology
Efavirenz must be given in combination with other antiretroviral
medicines (see
section
4.5).
In order to improve the tolerability of nervous system adverse
reactions, bedtime dosing is
recommended (see section 4.8).
_Adults_
The recommended dose of efevirenz in combination with nucleoside
analogue reverse transcriptase
inhibitors (NRTIs) with or without a PI (see section 4.5) is 600 mg
orally, once daily.
_Drug interaction _
As STOCRIN 600 mg tablet is the only dose form available in the local
marketplace, the
recommended dose adjustments for voriconazole and rifampicin are not
possible (see section 4.5)
Special populations
_Renal impairment_
The pharmacokinetics of efavirenz have not been studied in patients
with renal insufficiency; however,
less than 1 % of an efavirenz dose is excreted unchanged in the urine,
so the impact of renal
impairment on efavirenz elimination should be minimal (see section
4.4).
_ _
_Hepatic impairment_
2
Patients with mild liver disease may be treated with their normally
recommended dose of efavirenz.
Patients should be monitored carefully for dose-related adverse
reactions, especially nervous system
symptoms (see sections 4.3 and 4.4).
_ _
_Paediatric population (3 to 17 years)_
Due to the local marketplace availability of 600 mg tablets only, this
medication can onl
