WHAT PIFELTRO
IS AND WHAT IT IS USED
FOR
WHAT PIFELTRO IS
Pifeltro is used to treat HIV (‘human immunodeficiency virus’)
infection. It belongs to a group of
medicines called ‘antiretroviral medicines’.
Pifeltro
contains the active substance doravirine
- a non-
nucleoside reverse
transcriptase inhibitor
(NNRTI).
WHAT PIFELTRO IS USED FOR
Pifeltro
is used to treat HIV
infection in adults, and
adolescents
aged 12
years and older
weighing at
least 35 kg
. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS (‘
acquired immune deficiency s
yndrome’).
You should
not take Pifeltro
if your doctor has told you that the virus causing your infection is
resistant to
doravirine.
Pifeltro
must be used in combinatio
n with other medicines for HIV.
HOW PIFELTRO WORKS
When used with othe
r medicines,
Pifeltro works by
preventing HIV from making more viruses in your
body. This will help by
:
•
reducing the amount of HIV in your blood (this is called your
‘
viral load
’
)
•
increasing the
number
of white blood cells called ‘CD4
+
T’. This can make yo
ur immune
system stronger. This may reduce your risk of
early death or

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Therapy
should be initiated by a physician experienced in the
management of HIV infection
.
Posology
The recommended dose
is one 100 mg
tablet taken orally
once daily with or without food.

should be taken twice daily
(approximately 1
2 hours apart)
(see section

Co-
administration of doravirine with other moderate CYP3A inducers has
not been evaluated, but
decreased doravirine concentrations are expected. If co
-
administration with other moderate CYP3A
inducers (e.g
.,
dabrafenib, lesinurad, bosentan, thioridazine, nafcillin, modafinil,
telotristat ethyl)
cannot be avoided, one

hours
apart).

Pifeltro within 12
hours of the time it is usually taken, the patient should
take as soon as possible and resume the normal dosing schedule. If a

than 12
hours, the pat
