ACRIPTEGA is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults aged 18 years and older.
Therapy should be initiated by a doctor experienced in the management of HIV infection.
The dose of ACRIPTEGA is one tablet taken orally, once daily, without regard to food.
ACRIPTEGA is not recommended for use in patients younger than 18 years of age. Dose adjustment for renal impairment: Significantly increased exposure occurred when tenofovir, as in ACRIPTEGA, was administered to patients with moderate to severe renal impairment (see section 4.3 Contraindications).
The pharmacokinetics of tenofovir, as in ACRIPTEGA, have not been evaluated in non-haemodialysis patients with creatinine clearance <50 ml/min); therefore, no dosing recommendations is available for these patients. ACRIPTEGA is not suitable for use in patients with renal impairment with creatinine clearance less than 50 ml/min.
Rifampicin decreases the blood levels of dolutegravir. A supplementary dose of dolutegravir should be given to patients taking ACRIPTEGA.
If overdose occurs the patient must be monitored for evidence of toxicity and palliative supportive treatment be applied as necessary. Tenofovir can be removed by haemodialysis; the median haemodialysis clearance of tenofovir is 134 ml/min. The elimination of tenofovir by peritoneal dialysis has not been studied.
Limited data are available on the consequences of ingestion of acute overdoses in humans. If overdosage occurs the patient should be monitored, and palliative supportive treatment applied as required.
Management should be as clinically indicated or as recommended by the national poisons centre, where available. There is no specific treatment for an overdose of ACRIPTEGA . If overdose occurs, the patient should be treated supportively with appropriate monitoring as necessary. As ACRIPTEGA is highly bound to plasma proteins, it is unlikely that it will be significantly removed by dialysis.
