Warnings and precautions

• Hypersensitivity reactions characterized by rash, constitutional findings, and sometimes organ dysfunction, including liver injury, have been reported.

Patients with underlying hepatitis B or C may be at increased risk for worsening or development of transaminase elevations. Monitoring for hepatotoxicity is recommended. • Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy. • TIVICAY tablets and TIVICAY PD tablets for oral suspension are not substitutable.
