Pharmacokinetic parameters

Comment

Co-administration of rifampicin 600 mg QD with protease inhibitors such as lopinavir/ritonavir, darunavir/ritonavir, atazanavir/ritonavir and atazanavir alone causes a decrease in AUC and Cmin of approximately 75% to 80%.

Ref #3116 : To increase the chance of achieving therapeutic serum levels and reduce the development of resistance and treatment failures some experts, as well as the CDC, recommend a 150mg QD dose. See rifabutin + PIs.
