Efavirenz

Therapeutic Indication
SUSTIVA is indicated in antiviral combination treatment of HIV-1 infected adults, adolescents and children 3 years of age and older.

SUSTIVA has not been adequately studied in patients with advanced HIV disease, namely in patients with CD4 counts < 50 cells/mm3, or after failure of protease inhibitor (PI) containing regimens. Although cross-resistance of efavirenz with protease inhibitors has not been documented, there are at present insufficient data on the efficacy of subsequent use of protease inhibitor based combination therapy after failure of regimens containing SUSTIVA.
