No Interaction Expected
Dolutegravir (DTG)
Alendronic Acid (Alendronate)
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied. If taken at the same time, it is likely that food and beverages (including mineral water), calcium supplements, antacids, and some oral medicinal products will interfere with absorption of alendronate. Therefore, patients must wait at least 30 minutes after taking alendronate before taking any other oral medicinal product.

No Interaction Expected
Dolutegravir (DTG)
Denosumab
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Denosumab is not eliminated via hepatic metabolism but follows the immunoglobulin clearance pathway. (Note, caution is required if given with calcium supplements as dolutegravir may be subject to chelation by high concentrations of divalent cations which may result in reduced dolutegravir concentrations.)
Description:
No Interaction Expected
Dolutegravir (DTG)
Zoledronic acid (Zoledronate)
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely. Zoledronic acid is eliminated unchanged renally. (Note, caution is required if given with calcium supplements as dolutegravir may be subject to chelation by high concentrations of divalent cations which may result in reduced dolutegravir concentrations.)

No Interaction Expected
Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (FTC/TAF)
Alendronic Acid (Alendronate)
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied. If taken at the same time, it is likely that food and beverages (including mineral water), calcium supplements, antacids, and some oral medicinal products will interfere with absorption of alendronate. Therefore, patients must wait at least 30 minutes after taking alendronate before taking any other oral medicinal product. Dose Descovy according to the concomitant antiretroviral.

No Interaction Expected
Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (FTC/TAF)
Zoledronic acid (Zoledronate)
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied. Zoledronic acid is eliminated unchanged renally and has been associated with reports of renal dysfunction. Concurrent use of a nephrotoxic agent is unlikely to be problematic as tenofovir alafenamide results in 90% lower systemic levels of tenofovir compared to tenofovir-DF.

No Interaction Expected
Dolutegravir (DTG)
Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (FTC/TAF)
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration of dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) with emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (200/10 mg, once daily) increased tenofovir AUC and Cmax by 25% and 10% (n=10). No significant effects were observed on dolutegravir pharmacokinetics relative to historical controls. Coadministration of dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) and tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine/elvitegravir/cobicistat (10/200/150/150 mg) had no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir and tenofovir alafenamide. The recommended dose of Descovy for HIV-1 treatment is 200/25 mg once daily.

Denosumab
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely. Denosumab is not eliminated via hepatic metabolism but follows the immunoglobulin clearance pathway.
