Precautions

Serious psychiatric symptoms: Immediate medical evaluation is recommended. 

Nervous system symptoms (NSS): NSS are frequent, usually begin 1-2 days after initiating therapy and resolve in 2-4 weeks. Dosing at bedtime may improve tolerability. NSS are not predictive of onset of psychiatric symptoms. 

New onset or worsening renal impairment: Can include acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome. Assess estimated creatinine clearance before initiating treatment with ATRIPLA. In patients at risk for renal dysfunction, assess estimated creatinine clearance, serum phosphorus, urine glucose and urine protein before initiating treatment with Atripla and periodically during treatment. Avoid administering Atripla with concurrent or recent use of nephrotoxic drugs. 

Pregnancy: Fetal harm may occur when administered to a pregnant woman during the first trimester. Women should be apprised of the potential harm to the fetus. A pregnancy registry is available. 

Rash: Discontinue if severe rash develops. 

Hepatotoxicity: Monitor liver function tests before and during treatment in patients with underlying hepatic disease, including hepatitis B or C coinfection, marked transaminase elevations, or who are taking medications associated with liver toxicity. Among reported cases of hepatic failure, a few occurred in patients with no pre-existing hepatic disease.

Decreases in bone mineral density (BMD): Consider assessment of BMD in patients with a history of pathological fracture or other risk factors for osteoporosis or bone loss. 

Convulsions: Use caution in patients with a history of seizures. 

Immune reconstitution syndrome: May necessitate further evaluation and treatment.

Redistribution/accumulation of body fat: Observed in patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. 

Coadministration with other products: Do not use with drugs containing emtricitabine or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate including Complera, Emtriva, Stribild, Truvada, or Viread; or with drugs containing lamivudine. Sustiva (efavirenz) should not be coadministered with Atripla unless required for dose adjustment when coadministered with rifampin. Do not administer in combination with Hepsera.
