Abstract:
:A potential pharmacokinetic interaction between rifampin (Rimactan, Rifadin) and zidovudine (AZT, Retrovir) was investigated in the population of human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients at our hospital. The results from four patients who were on long-term (> or = 6 months) combination therapy with zidovudine and rifampin are presented. In all cases of combined use of zidovudine and rifampin, a lower area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and, consequently, a higher apparent clearance of zidovudine were found, compared with a reference population of zidovudine users. Patients had a low to normal maximum concentration of zidovudine in plasma. Elimination half-lives were normal in all but one patient. Zidovudine glucuronide concentrations were determined in three patients and three control subjects. The patients all had relatively higher peak plasma concentrations and higher AUCs of zidovudine glucuronide than the control subjects. In one patient, zidovudine and zidovudine glucuronide were also measured 2.5 months after discontinuation of rifampin. The AUC of zidovudine increased by a factor of 2. These data are in agreement with an enzyme-inducing effect of rifampin on the glucuronidation of zidovudine. They indicate that long-term combination therapy of rifampin and zidovudine leads to increased clearance of zidovudine, which may have therapeutic consequences.
