Contraindicated (3)
- Nevirapine + Atazanavir— Nevirapine substantially decreases atazanavir exposure and increases nevirapine exposures. Do not co-administer.
- Nevirapine + Etravirine— Co-administration may cause significant decrease in plasma concentrations of etravirine and loss of therapeutic effect. …
- Nevirapine + Ritonavir— Co-administered with atazanavir; nevirapine is contraindicated with this combination due to decreased atazanavir exposur…
Major (9)
- Nevirapine + Doravirine— Co-administration decreases doravirine plasma concentrations. Use with nevirapine is not recommended.
