Statins
Fluvastatin Affected drug: Fluvastatin

Interacting drug: Delavirdine

Mechanism: Inhibition of metabolism - potential for increased levels and toxicity RecommendaCimt:

Potential for hypolipidemic toxicity (dizziness, headache, GI side effects).

Monitor patient closely and consider dose reduction

None None
Lovastatin Affected drug: Lovastatin

Interacting drug: Delavirdine Mechanism: Inhibition of metabolism - potential for increased levels and toxicity Recomm&idatwn:

Potential for hypolipidemic toxicity (dizziness, headache, GI side effects).

Monitor patient closely and consider dose reduction

None None
Pravastatin Affected drug: Pravastatin Interacting drug: Delavirdine Mechanism: Inhibition of metabolism - potential for increased levels and toxicity Recommee^t^t^n:

Potential for hypolipidemic toxicity (dizziness, headache, GI side effects).

Monitor patient closely and consider dose reduction

None None
Anticoagulants
Warfarin Affected drug: Warfarin Interacting drug: Delavirdine Mechanism: Inhibition of metabolism - potential for increased risk of bleeding Recommendation: Monitor INR closely or avoid concomitant use Affected drug: Warfarin Interacting drug: Nevirapine Mechanism: Induction of metabolism - decreased anticoagulation and risk of blood clot or embolus Recommendation: Monitor INR closely or avoid concomitant use Affected drug: Warfarin Interacting drug: Efavirenz Mechanism: Induction of metabolism - decreased anticoagulation and risk of blood clot or embolus Recommendation: Monitor INR closely or avoid concomitant use
