ALERT U.S. Boxed Warning

Post treatment acute exacerbation of hepatitis B

Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients who are coinfected with HIV-1 and hepatitis B virus (HBV) and have discontinued products containing emtricitabine and/or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), and may occur with discontinuation of darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide. Closely monitor hepatic function with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months in patients who are coinfected with HIV-1 and HBV and discontinue darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide. If appropriate, anti-hepatitis B therapy may be warranted

Pregnancy Considerations

The Health and Human Services (HHS) Perinatal HIV guidelines do not recommend darunavir or cobicistat for initial therapy in antiretroviral-naive pregnant females. Due to decreased exposure of both cobicistat and darunavir during pregnancy, alternative regimens should be used when treatment is initiated in pregnant females.

In general, females who become pregnant on a stable antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen may continue that regimen if viral suppression is effective, appropriate drug exposure can be achieved, contraindications for use in pregnancy are not present, and the regimen is well tolerated (HHS [perinatal] 2017).
