Higher Atazanavir Plasma Exposure in Rats is Associated with Gut Microbiota Changes Induced by Cotrimoxazole

Abstract

Concomitant administration of TMP-SMX and ATV significantly increased ATV exposure in rats. This increase could be the result of a prolonged TGTT leading to an increase in the intestinal residence time of ATV favoring its absorption. Gut microbiota changes induced by TMP-SMX could be at the origin of this prolonged TGTT. If demonstrated in humans, this potential interaction could be accompanied by an increase in the adverse effects of ATV.
