The Drug-Nutrient Interactions table may not include every possible interaction. Taking medicines with meals, on an empty stomach, or with alcohol may influence their effects. For details, refer to the Uses and Precautions tabs or the manufacturers’ package information as these are not covered in this table. If you take medications, always discuss the potential risks and benefits of adding a new supplement with your doctor or pharmacist.

Drug Interactions

Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.

Some products that may interact with this drug include: antiplatelet drugs (such as clopidogrel), artemether, "blood thinners" (anticoagulants such as warfarin, heparins), NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen, naproxen, sulindac, indomethacin), disulfiram, estrogens (such as ethinyl estradiol), garlic supplements, vitamin E, lumefantrine, metronidazole, orlistat.

Other medications can affect the removal of tipranavir from your body, which may affect how tipranavir works. Examples include apalutamide, macrolide antibiotics (such as erythromycin), rifampin, St. John's wort, drugs used to treat seizures (such as carbamazepine, phenytoin), among others.

Tipranavir with ritonavir can both speed up and slow down the removal of other drugs from your body, thereby affecting how they work. Examples of affected drugs include alfuzosin, certain benzodiazepines (such as midazolam, triazolam), certain heart rhythm drugs (amiodarone, bepridil, flecainide, propafenone, quinidine), colchicine, eletriptan, eplerenone, ergot-containing drugs (such as ergotamine), fluticasone, other HIV medications (such as etravirine, other protease inhibitors including fosamprenavir, lopinavir, saquinavir), meperidine, pimozide, ranolazine, salmeterol, certain "statin" cholesterol drugs (such as atorvastatin, lovastatin, simvastatin), drugs to treat erectile dysfunction-ED or pulmonary hypertension (such as sildenafil, vardenafil), among others.

Aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding when used with this medication. However, if your doctor has directed you to take low-dose aspirin for heart attack or stroke prevention (usually 81-162 milligrams a day), you should continue taking it unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.

This medication may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal birth control such as pills, patch, or ring. This could cause pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about additional or alternative reliable forms of birth control, and use an effective barrier method (latex or polyurethane condoms/dental dams) during sexual activity to decrease the risk of spreading HIV to others. Tell your doctor if you have any new spotting or breakthrough bleeding, because these may be signs that your hormonal birth control is not working well.
