What the FDA labels say
From the Nevirapine label · effective 2026-07-15
Female gender and higher CD4 + cell counts at initiation of therapy place patients at increased risk; women with CD4 + cell counts greater than 250 cells/mm 3 , including pregnant women receiving nevirapine in combination with other antiretrovirals for the treatment of HIV-1 infection, are at the greatest risk.
Etravirine Rilpivirine Plasma concentrations may be altered.
From the Emtricitabine, rilpivirine, and tenofovir (COMPLERA) label · effective 2025-07-16
COMPLERA is a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection; therefore, coadministration with other antiretroviral medications for treatment of HIV-1 infection is not recommended.
Not Recommended with Other Antiretroviral Medications Because COMPLERA is a complete regimen, coadministration with other antiretroviral medications for the treatment of HIV-1 infection is not recommended.
Coadministration of RPV and drugs that induce CYP3A may result in decreased plasma concentrations of RPV and loss of virologic response and possible resistance to RPV or to the class of NNRTIs.
Lactic Acidosis/Severe Hepatomegaly with Steatosis Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogs, including TDF and FTC, components of COMPLERA, alone or in combination with other antiretrovirals.
Comprehensive information regarding potential drug-drug interactions with other antiretroviral medications is not provided.
