| | Consequently, concomitant use of St John’s wort with PIs or NNRTIs is not recommended because this may result in suboptimal antiretroviral drug concentrations, leading to loss of virologic response and development of resistance or class cross-resistance. | | | However, based on these results, it is expected that St John’s wort may significantly decrease blood concentrations of all of the currently marketed HIV protease inhibitors (PIs) and possibly other drugs (to varying degrees) that are similarly metabolized, including the nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). | | | Because herbal products are widely used in the United States and are available in various forms such as combination products and teas, it is important that health care professionals ask patients about concomitant use of products that could contain St. John’s wort (hypericum perforatum). |
