What the FDA labels say
From the Atazanavir (REYATAZ) label · effective 2024-12-05
In HIV-treatment-experienced adult patients: Coadministration of REYATAZ with PPIs is not recommended.
Reduced plasma concentrations of atazanavir are expected if proton-pump inhibitors, antacids, buffered medications, or H 2 -receptor antagonists are administered with REYATAZ [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5 and 2.6) ] .
Proton-pump inhibitors: omeprazole ↓ atazanavir Coadministration of REYATAZ with or without ritonavir and omeprazole may result in loss of virologic response and development of resistance.
In HIV-treatment-naive adult patients: The proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) dose should not exceed a dose comparable to omeprazole 20 mg and must be taken approximately 12 hours prior to the REYATAZ 300 mg with ritonavir 100 mg dose.
From the Dexlansoprazole (Dexilant) label · effective 2025-02-17
Decreased exposure of some antiretroviral drugs (e.g., rilpivirine, atazanavir, and nelfinavir) when used concomitantly with dexlansoprazole may reduce antiviral effect and promote the development of drug resistance .
Increased exposure of other antiretroviral drugs (e.g., saquinavir) when used concomitantly with dexlansoprazole may increase toxicity of the antiretroviral drugs.
CYP2C19 or CYP3A4 Inhibitors Clinical Impact: Increased exposure of dexlansoprazole is expected when used concomitantly with strong inhibitors [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
Atazanavir : See prescribing information for atazanavir for dosing information.
Clinically Relevant Interactions Affecting Drugs Coadministered with DEXILANT and Interactions with Diagnostics Antiretrovirals Clinical Impact: The effect of PPIs on antiretroviral drugs is variable.
