Intellence Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Intellence is an antiretroviral agent more specifically classified as a Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor(NNRTI). Etraverine is used clinically for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection.On January 18, 2007, the FDA granted accelerated approved for the use of etravirine 100mg tablets in the treatment of adult HIV-1 infection documented to be resistant to therapy with other NNRTIs and antiretroviral agents. On March 26, 2012, approval was extended for use in treatment-experienced pediatric patients 6 to 18 years of age, weighing at least 16 kg. Etravarine must always be used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs.
Intellence exerts its effects via direct inhibition of the reverse transcriptase enzyme of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), and consequently blocks DNA-dependent and RNA-dependent polymerase activity. Intellence does not inhibit human DNA polymerase alpha, beta or gamma.
Common side effects of use include mild to moderate rash within the first 6 weeks of therapy, nausea, diarrhea and peripheral neuropathy. Patients are advised to immediately contact their healthcare provider if a rash develops.

Uses
Intellence is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) used in the treatment of HIV-1 infections in combination with other antiretroviral agents.
Indicated as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of adult HIV-1 infections resistant to therapy with other NNRTIs and antiretroviral agents.
Intellence is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistant HIV-1 infection
How Intellence works
Intellence exerts its effects via direct inhibition of the reverse transcriptase enzyme of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). It directly binds reverse transcriptase and consequently blocks DNA-dependent and RNA-dependent polymerase activity. Intellence does not inhibit human DNA polymerase alpha, beta or gamma.
Food Interaction
- Avoid grapefruit products. Grapefruit inhibits the CYP3A metabolism of etravirine, which may increase its serum concentration.
- Avoid St. John's Wort. This herb induces the CYP3A metabolism of etravirine and may reduce its serum concentration.
- Take after a meal. Take after meals. This increases the bioavailability of etravirine.
[Moderate] ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Coadministration with food increases the oral bioavailability of etravirine.
The mechanism is unknown.
Compared to administration following a meal, the systemic exposure (AUC) to etravirine was decreased by about 50% when the drug was administered under fasting conditions.
The types of meal studied (ranging from 345 kilocalories containing 17 grams fat to 1160 kilocalories containing 70 grams fat) did not appear to make a difference with respect to impact on etravirine bioavailability.
MANAGEMENT: Intellence should always be administered following a meal.

Intellence Disease Interaction
Volume of Distribution
Distribution of etravirine into compartments other than plasma has not been evaluated in humans.
Elimination Route
Maximum oral absorption is achieved in 2.5-4 hours.
Absorption is unaffected by the concomitant use of oral ranitidine or omeprazole, which decrease gastric acidity.
Administration under fasting conditions resulted in a near 50% decrease in systemic exposure (AUC) when compared to administration after a meal.
Half Life
Half life of 9.05-41 hours.
Clearance
Renal clearance of etravirine is negligible (<1.2%), thus no dose adjustments are required in patients with renal impairment.
Clearance is shown to be reduced in patients with Hepatitis B and/or co-infection, however, the safety profile of etravirine does not call for dosage adjustments.
Elimination Route
After a 800mg dose of radio-labelled etraverine, 93.7% was found to undergo fecal elimination, with 81.2% - 86.4% eliminated unchanged. 1.2% of the dose was renally eliminated, changed.
Intellence is dialyzable (hemodialysis).
