Interaction between rosuvastatin and lopinavir/r: rosuvastatin levels increased by 150-200%
HIV Treat Bull - Vol. 7, No. 5, May 2006
In the drug interaction table on page 20 of the April edition of HTB (Volume 7, Number 4), we indicated that rosuvastatin levels were decreased, when in fact they are increased by 150-200%. In addition, the comment on page 18 only mentioned “interaction was unexpected” without indicating that this produced higher levels.
We apologise for this error and any inconvenience caused.
This has now been corrected on the web edition.
Other websites providing online coverage from the meeting are listed in the On The Web section of HTB.
