Intelence

Etravirine belongs to the class of medications called antiretrovirals, or more specifically, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). It is used in combination with other antiretroviral medications to treat human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) when other antiretroviral medications have not worked, and when HIV-1 is resistant to other antiretroviral medications.

The usual adult dose of etravirine is 200 mg taken by mouth, twice daily following a meal. For children 6 to 18 years old, weighing at least 16 kg, the dose is based on body weight. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose for your child.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

Intelence works better when it is taken after a meal. Avoid taking etravirine on an empty stomach as it may not work as well. Try to take the doses of etravirine at the same time each day.

Swallow the tablets whole with some liquid, such as water. Do not crush or chew the tablets. If you or your child are unable to swallow tablets whole, dissolve the tablet in 5 mL (1 teaspoon) of water until the water looks milky. This solution may be added to a small amount of orange juice or milk. Drink it immediately. Rinse the glass several times with water and swallow the rinse each time, to make sure all the medication is taken.

Do not use grapefruit juice, warm drinks, or carbonated beverages.

It is important to take Intelence exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you stop taking Intelence, your HIV infection could get worse. Take the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor, and do not stop taking the medication without checking with your doctor first. If you miss a dose by less than 6 hours, take the missed dose after food, as soon as possible. If you miss a dose by more than 6 hours, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Intelence in the original packaging at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children. Keep the desiccant packets in the bottle.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
