'''Delavirdine''' ('''DLV''') (brand name '''Rescriptor®''') is a non-nucleoside [[reverse transcriptase inhibitor]] (NNRTI) marketed by [[Pfizer]]. It is used as part of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for the treatment of [[human immunodeficiency virus]] (HIV) type 1. It is presented as the mesylate. The recommended dosage is 400 mg, three times a day.


Although delavirdine was approved by the U.S. [[Food and Drug Administration]] in 1997, its efficacy is lower than other NNRTIs, especially [[efavirenz]], and it also has an inconvenient schedule. These factors have led the U.S. DHHS not to recommend its use as part of initial therapy.<ref name="dhhs"> DHHS panel. Guidelines for the use of antiretroviral agents in HIV-1-infected adults and adolescents (May 4, 2006). (Available for download from [http://www.aidsinfo.nih.gov/Guidelines/GuidelineDetail.aspx?MenuItem=Guidelines&Search=Off&GuidelineID=7&ClassID=1 AIDSInfo])</ref>
==Overview==
The risk of cross-resistance across the NNRTI class, as well as its complex set of drug interactions, make the place of delavirdine in second-line and salvage therapy unclear, and it is currently rarely used.
Like [[ritonavir]], delavirdine is an inhibitor of [[cytochrome P450]] isozyme [[CYP3A4]], and interacts with many medications. It should not be administered with a wide range of drugs, including [[amprenavir]], [[fosamprenavir]], [[simvastatin]], [[lovastatin]], [[rifampin]], [[rifabutin]], [[rifapentine]], [[St John's wort]], [[astemizole]], [[midazolam]], [[triazolam]], [[ergot]] medications, and several medications for [[acid reflux]].<ref name="dhhs" />


The most common adverse event is moderate to severe [[rash]], which occurs in up to 20% of patients.<ref>[http://www.pfizer.com/pfizer/download/uspi_rescriptor.pdf RESCRIPTOR® brand of delavirdine mesylate tablets. Product information.]</ref> Other common adverse events include [[fatigue (physical)|fatigue]], [[headache]] and [[nausea]]. Liver toxicity has also been reported.
