About Atazanavir Sulfate Capsules

Atazanavir sulfate capsules are indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection for patients 6 years and older weighing at least 15 kg. Limitations of Use: Atazanavir is not recommended for use in pediatric patients below the age of 3 months due to the risk of kernicterus. Use of atazanavir/ritonavir in treatment-experienced patients should be guided by the number of baseline primary protease inhibitor resistance substitutions.

Important Safety Information

Atazanavir sulfate capsules are contraindicated:

  • in patients with previously demonstrated clinically significant hypersensitivity (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome, erythema multiforme, or toxic skin eruptions) to any of the components of atazanavir sulfate capsules.
  • when coadministered with drugs that are highly dependent on CYP3A or UGT1A1 for clearance, and for which elevated plasma concentrations of the interacting drugs are associated with serious and/or life-threatening events.
  • when coadministered with drugs that strongly induce CYP3A and may lead to lower exposure and loss of efficacy of atazanavir sulfate.

Atazanavir sulfate has been shown to prolong the PR interval of the electrocardiogram. In healthy volunteers and in patients, abnormalities in atrioventricular (AV) conduction were asymptomatic and generally limited to first-degree AV block. There have been reports of second-degree AV block and other conduction abnormalities.

In controlled clinical trials, rash (all grades, regardless of causality) occurred in approximately 20% of patients treated with atazanavir sulfate. Rashes were generally mild-to-moderate maculopapular skin eruptions. Cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, erythema multiforme, and toxic skin eruptions, including drug rash, eosinophilia, and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome, have been reported in patients receiving atazanavir sulfate.

Patients with underlying hepatitis B or C viral infections or marked elevations in transaminases before treatment may be at increased risk for developing further transaminase elevations or hepatic decompensation. Chronic kidney disease in HIV-infected patients treated with atazanavir, with or without ritonavir, has been reported during postmarketing surveillance. Cases of nephrolithiasis and/or cholelithiasis have been reported during postmarketing surveillance in HIV-infected patients receiving atazanavir sulfate therapy.

Initiation of medications that inhibit or induce CYP3A may increase or decrease concentrations of atazanavir sulfate with ritonavir, respectively. These interactions may lead to:

  • clinically significant adverse reactions potentially leading to severe, life-threatening, or fatal events from greater exposures of concomitant medications.
  • clinically significant adverse reactions from greater exposures of atazanavir sulfate with ritonavir.
  • loss of therapeutic effect of atazanavir sulfate with ritonavir and possible development of resistance.

Other possible serious adverse reactions include hyperbilirubinemia; diabetes mellitus/hyperglycemia; immune reconstitution syndrome; redistribution/accumulation of body fat; and hemophilia. Various degrees of cross-resistance among protease inhibitors have been observed.

The most common adverse reactions (≥ 2%) in clinical trials were nausea, jaundice/scleral icterus, rash, headache, abdominal pain, vomiting, insomnia, peripheral neurologic symptoms, dizziness, myalgia, diarrhea, depression, and fever.
