"RPV: This open-label trial involved 17 healthy volunteers who received rilpivirine 25 mg daily for 14 days (period 1) followed by a 14- to 21-day washout, then efavirenz 600 mg daily for 14 days, followed immediately by rilpivirine 25 mg daily for 28 days (period 2). Pharmacokinetic evaluations were conducted during the two rilpivirine dosing periods. During period 2, when rilpivirine was initiated immediately after efavirenz discontinuation, levels of rilpivirine were reduced in comparison with levels for period 1: rilpivirine Cmin was 28% lower on days 1 and 14, and remained 25% lower on day 28, compared with the Cmin during period 1 of rilpivirine treatment."
