Basic Information
ID DDInter58 and DDInter205
Interaction INTERVAL: Concurrent administration of medications or oral supplements containing polyvalent cations such as aluminum, calcium, iron, or magnesium may decrease the oral bioavailability of bictegravir.
Management When used with antacids containing aluminum, magnesium or calcium, bictegravir may be taken under fasting conditions 2 hours before the antacids. Routine administration of bictegravir simultaneously with, or 2 hours after, antacids containing aluminum, magnesium or calcium is not recommended. When used with supplements containing calcium or iron, bictegravir and the supplements may be taken together with food.

Potential Metabolism Interactions
Substrate-Substrate Interaction:If more than one drug is metabolized by the same CYP, it is possible that its metabolism is inhibited because of the competition between the drugs. That means, it can be useful to lower the dosage of the drugs in the drug-cocktail because they remain longer in the organism than in monotherapy.
Inhibitor-Inhibitor Interaction:Combining two or more inhibitors of one CYP, should be compensated by lowering the dosage of these drugs because the metabolism is reduced and the drugs remain longer in the organism than in monotherapy. Not adapting the dosage bears the risk of even more side effects.
Inhibitor-Substrate Interaction:Combining drugs that have inhibitory effect and are substrates of one particular CYP, should be compensated by lowering the dosage. They rest longer in the organism than in monotherapy. Not adapting the dosage bears the risk of even more side effects.
