• Prior to initiation of SELZENTRY for treatment of HIV-1 infection, test all patients for CCR5 tropism using a highly sensitive tropism assay. • SELZENTRY tablets and oral solution are taken twice daily by mouth and may be taken with or without food. SELZENTRY must be given in combination with other antiretroviral medications. Recommended Dosage in Adult Patients: Concomitant Medications Dosage of SELZENTRY When given with potent cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A inhibitors (with or without potent CYP3A inducers) including PIs (except tipranavir/ritonavir) 150 mg twice daily With NRTIs, tipranavir/ritonavir, nevirapine, raltegravir, and other drugs that are not potent CYP3A inhibitors or CYP3A inducers 300 mg twice daily With potent and moderate CYP3A inducers including efavirenz (without a potent CYP3A inhibitor) 600 mg twice daily A more complete list of coadministered drugs is listed in Dosage and Administration . Recommended Dosage in Pediatric Patients Weighing at Least 2 kg: Administer twice daily. Dosage should be based on body weight (kg) and concomitant medications and should not exceed the recommended adult dose. Recommended Dosage in Patients with Renal Impairment: Dose adjustment may be necessary in adult patients with renal impairment
Testing prior to Initiation of SELZENTRY Prior to initiation of SELZENTRY for treatment of HIV-1 infection, test all patients for CCR5 tropism using a highly sensitive tropism assay. SELZENTRY is recommended for patients with only CCR5-tropic HIV-1 infection. Outgrowth of pre-existing low-level CXCR4- or dual/mixed-tropic HIV-1 not detected by tropism testing at screening has been associated with virologic failure on SELZENTRY . Monitor patients for alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and bilirubin prior to initiation of SELZENTRY and at other time points during treatment as clinically indicated
General Dosing Recommendations • SELZENTRY tablets and oral solution are taken twice daily by mouth and may be taken with or without food. • SELZENTRY must be given in combination with other antiretroviral medications. • The recommended dosage of SELZENTRY differs based on concomitant medications due to drug interactions

The recommended dosage also differs based on concomitant medications due to drug interactions ( Table 2 and Table 3 ) . Before prescribing SELZENTRY tablets, assess children for the ability to swallow tablets. If a child is unable to reliably swallow SELZENTRY tablets, the oral solution formulation should be prescribed.
