Abstract
The advancement of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) treatment improves the life expectancy of HIV-positive individuals. People living with HIV have more polypharmacy and drug-drug interactions than those without HIV. Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are the newest class commonly used for HIV treatment. There are five INSTIs currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration, including raltegravir, elvitegravir, dolutegravir, bictegravir, and cabotegravir. INSTIs class contributes to better safety and efficacy profile, making them the preferred or recommended antiretroviral regimens in HIV treatment guidelines worldwide. Despite the shared mechanism of action, INSTIs differ in pharmacokinetics, contributing to different drug-drug interactions. This review summarized the potential drug interactions of INSTIs and the management of the drug interactions in clinical practice.
