PREZCOBIX PED must be dispersed in drinking water and taken immediately with food. ( 2.2 , 2.3 ) Testing Prior to Initiation: HIV genotypic testing is recommended for antiretroviral treatment experienced patients. Assess estimated creatinine clearance in all patients prior to starting PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED. When used with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF): Assess urine glucose and urine protein at baseline and monitor creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein. Monitor serum phosphorus in patients with or at risk for renal impairment. ( 2.5 ) 2.1 Overview of Different Dosage Forms Two different dosage forms are available: PREZCOBIX Tablets: 800 mg/150 mg film-coated tablets for adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg. 675 mg/150 mg film-coated tablets for pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg to less than 40 kg. PREZCOBIX PED Tablets for Oral Suspension: 600 mg/90 mg film-coated tablet for oral suspension for pediatric patients aged 3 years and older weighing at least 15 kg to less than 25 kg [see Dosage and Administration (2.2 , 2.3) ] . 2.2 Recommended Dosage in Adults and Pediatrics 3 Years of Age and Older Weighing at Least 15 kg The recommended dosages for adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 15 kg are shown in Table 1. The pediatric dose is based on weight. PREZCOBIX and PREZCOBIX PED are taken orally with food once daily in conjunction with other antiretroviral agents. Table 1: Recommended Dosages of PREZCOBIX and PREZCOBIX PED in Adults and Pediatric Patients Weighing at Least 15 kg, who are Treatment-Naïve or Treatment-Experienced Without DRV RAMs DRV-resistance-associated mutations (RAMs): V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, I50V, I54M, I54L, T74P, L76V, I84V, L89V. Patient Population Total Daily Dose Adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg One PREZCOBIX 800 mg darunavir/150 mg cobicistat tablet Pediatric Patients weighing at least 25 kg to less than 40 kg One PREZCOBIX 675 mg darunavir/150 mg cobicistat tablet Pediatric Patients aged 3 years and older weighing at least 15 kg to less than 25 kg One PREZCOBIX PED 600 mg darunavir/90 mg cobicistat tablet for oral suspension Before prescribing PREZCOBIX 675 mg/150 mg tablets, children should be assessed for the ability to swallow tablets. For patients unable to swallow the 675 mg/150 mg tablet whole, the scored tablet may be split by hand into two pieces. Each piece should be consumed immediately after splitting to ensure the entire dose is administered. The score line is only to facilitate breaking for ease of swallowing and not to divide into equal doses. 2.3 Preparation and Administration Instructions for PREZCOBIX PED Advise patients or caregivers of patients taking PREZCOBIX PED to refer to the Instructions for Use to properly prepare and take the medication. PREZCOBIX PED must be dispersed in drinking water and taken immediately as described below. If not taken immediately, then the oral suspension should be discarded, and a new dose of medicine should be prepared. The patient should not crush, chew or swallow the PREZCOBIX PED tablet for oral suspension. The following instructions should be followed: Place the tablet for oral suspension in a cup, add 30 mL (2 tablespoons) of non-carbonated room temperature drinking water. Stir well with a spoon until the tablet is completely dispersed. The prepared medicine will appear reddish purple. Take all the prepared medicine immediately or to aid in administration, the prepared medicine can be further diluted with 10 mL (2 teaspoons) of water, orange juice, or 1 teaspoon of applesauce or yogurt. Mix and take the entire mixture immediately. Add another 5 mL (1 teaspoon) of non-carbonated drinking water to the cup, swirl and drink completely. This step may be repeated as needed to ensure the entire dose is consumed. 2.4 Testing Prior to Initiation of PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED HIV Genotypic Testing HIV genotypic testing is recommended for antiretroviral treatment-experienced patients. However, when HIV genotypic testing is not feasible, PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED can be used in protease inhibitor-naïve patients, but is not recommended in protease inhibitor-experienced patients. Creatinine Clearance Prior to starting PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED, assess estimated creatinine clearance because cobicistat decreases estimated creatinine clearance due to inhibition of tubular secretion of creatinine without affecting actual renal glomerular function [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . When co-administering PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF) assess estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein at baseline [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] . 2.5 Not Recommended in Severe Renal Impairment PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED co-administered with tenofovir DF is not recommended in patients who have an estimated creatinine clearance below 70 mL per minute [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) and Adverse Reactions (6) ] . 2.6 Not Recommended in Severe Hepatic Impairment PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED is not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic impairment [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 2.7 Not Recommended During Pregnancy PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED is not recommended during pregnancy because of substantially lower exposures of darunavir and cobicistat during the second and third trimesters [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED should not be initiated in pregnant individuals. An alternative regimen is recommended for those who become pregnant during therapy with PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED.

Warnings

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Drug-induced hepatitis (e.g., acute hepatitis, cytolytic hepatitis), liver injury, including some fatalities can occur with PREZCOBIX. Monitor liver function before and during therapy, especially in patients with underlying chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, or in patients who have pre-treatment elevations of transaminases. ( 5.1 ) Skin reactions ranging from mild to severe, including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, can occur with PREZCOBIX. Discontinue treatment if severe reaction develops. ( 5.2 ) When PREZCOBIX is used in combination with a tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF) containing regimen, cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome have been reported. ( 5.4 ) PREZCOBIX is not recommended in combination with other antiretroviral drugs that require pharmacokinetic boosting. ( 5.6 ) Monitor in patients with a known sulfonamide allergy. ( 5.7 ) Patients receiving PREZCOBIX may develop new onset or exacerbations of diabetes mellitus/hyperglycemia ( 5.8 ), redistribution/accumulation of body fat ( 5.9 ), and immune reconstitution syndrome. ( 5.10 ) Patients with hemophilia may develop increased bleeding events. ( 5.11 ) 5.1 Hepatotoxicity During the darunavir clinical development program (N=3063), where darunavir was co-administered with ritonavir 100 mg once or twice daily, drug-induced hepatitis (e.g., acute hepatitis, cytolytic hepatitis) was reported in 0.5% of subjects. Patients with pre-existing liver dysfunction, including chronic active hepatitis B or C, have an increased risk for liver function abnormalities including severe hepatic adverse reactions. Post-marketing cases of liver injury, including some fatalities, have also been reported with darunavir co-administered with ritonavir. These have generally occurred in patients with advanced HIV-1 disease taking multiple concomitant medications, having co-morbidities including hepatitis B or C co-infection, and/or developing immune reconstitution syndrome. A causal relationship with darunavir co-administered with ritonavir has not been established. Appropriate laboratory testing should be conducted prior to initiating therapy with PREZCOBIX and patients should be monitored during treatment. Increased AST/ALT monitoring should be considered in patients with underlying chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, or in patients who have pre-treatment elevations of transaminases, especially during the first several months of PREZCOBIX treatment. Evidence of new or worsening liver dysfunction (including clinically significant elevation of liver enzymes and/or symptoms such as fatigue, anorexia, nausea, jaundice, dark urine, liver tenderness, hepatomegaly) in patients on PREZCOBIX should prompt consideration of interruption or discontinuation of treatment. 5.2 Severe Skin Reactions During the darunavir clinical development program (n=3063), where darunavir was co-administered with ritonavir 100 mg once or twice daily, severe skin reactions, accompanied by fever and/or elevations of transaminases in some cases, was reported in 0.4% of subjects. Stevens-Johnson Syndrome was rarely (less than 0.1%) reported during the clinical development program. During post-marketing experience toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis have been reported. Discontinue PREZCOBIX immediately if signs or symptoms of severe skin reactions develop. These can include but are not limited to severe rash or rash accompanied with fever, general malaise, fatigue, muscle or joint aches, blisters, oral lesions, conjunctivitis, hepatitis and/or eosinophilia. Mild-to-moderate rash was also reported and often occurred within the first four weeks of treatment and resolved with continued dosing. 5.3 Effects on Serum Creatinine Cobicistat decreases estimated creatinine clearance due to inhibition of tubular secretion of creatinine without affecting actual renal glomerular function. This effect should be considered when interpreting changes in estimated creatinine clearance in patients initiating PREZCOBIX, particularly in patients with medical conditions or receiving drugs needing monitoring with estimated creatinine clearance. Prior to initiating therapy with PREZCOBIX, assess estimated creatinine clearance [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Dosage recommendations are not available for drugs that require dosage adjustments in PREZCOBIX-treated patients with renal impairment [see Drug Interactions (7.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Consider alternative medications that do not require dosage adjustments in patients with renal impairment. Although cobicistat may cause modest increases in serum creatinine and modest declines in estimated creatinine clearance without affecting renal glomerular function, patients who experience a confirmed increase in serum creatinine of greater than 0.4 mg/dL from baseline should be closely monitored for renal safety. 5.4 New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment When Used With Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Renal impairment, including cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome, has been reported when cobicistat, a component of PREZCOBIX, was used in an antiretroviral regimen that contained tenofovir DF. Co-administration of PREZCOBIX and tenofovir DF is not recommended in patients who have an estimated creatinine clearance below 70 mL/min [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Document urine glucose and urine protein at baseline [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] and perform routine monitoring of estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein during treatment when PREZCOBIX is used with tenofovir DF. Measure serum phosphorus in patients with or at risk for renal impairment when used with tenofovir DF. Co-administration of PREZCOBIX and tenofovir DF in combination with concomitant or recent use of a nephrotoxic agent is not recommended. See cobicistat full prescribing information for additional information regarding cobicistat. 5.5 Risk of Serious Adverse Reactions or Loss of Virologic Response Due to Drug Interactions Initiation of PREZCOBIX, which inhibits CYP3A, in patients receiving medications metabolized by CYP3A, or initiation of medications metabolized by CYP3A in patients already receiving PREZCOBIX may increase plasma concentrations of medications metabolized by CYP3A and reduce plasma concentrations of active metabolite(s) formed by CYP3A. Initiation of medications that inhibit or induce CYP3A may respectively increase or decrease concentrations of PREZCOBIX. These interactions may lead to: clinically significant adverse reactions, potentially leading to severe, life threatening, or fatal events from higher exposures of concomitant medications. clinically significant adverse reactions from higher exposures of PREZCOBIX. loss of therapeutic effect of the concomitant medications from lower exposures of active metabolite(s). loss of therapeutic effect of PREZCOBIX and possible development of resistance from lower exposures of PREZCOBIX. See Table 1 for steps to prevent or manage these possible and known significant drug interactions, including dosing recommendations. Consider the potential for drug interactions prior to and during PREZCOBIX therapy; review concomitant medications during PREZCOBIX therapy; and monitor for the adverse reactions associated with concomitant medications [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7) ] . When used with concomitant medications, PREZCOBIX may result in different drug interactions than those observed or expected with darunavir co-administered with ritonavir. Complex or unknown mechanisms of drug interactions preclude extrapolation of drug interactions with darunavir co-administered with ritonavir to certain PREZCOBIX interactions [see Drug Interactions (7) and Clinical Pharmacology (1

Contraindications

CONTRAINDICATIONS Darunavir and cobicistat are both inhibitors of the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) isoform. PREZCOBIX should not be co-administered with medicinal products that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which increased plasma concentrations are associated with serious and/or life-threatening events (narrow therapeutic index). Darunavir and cobicistat are both substrates of the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) isoform. Co-administration of PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED with CYP3A inducers may lead to lower exposures of darunavir and cobicistat and potential loss of efficacy of darunavir and possible resistance. Examples of drugs that are contraindicated for co-administration with PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED [see Drug Interactions (7.3 ) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] are listed below. Alpha 1-adrenoreceptor antagonist: alfuzosin Anticonvulsants: carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin Anti-gout: colchicine, in patients with renal and/or hepatic impairment Antimycobacterial: rifampin Antipsychotics: lurasidone, pimozide Cardiac Disorders: dronedarone, ivabradine, ranolazine Ergot derivatives, e.g. dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, methylergonovine Herbal product: St. John's wort ( Hypericum perforatum ) Hepatitis C direct acting antiviral: elbasvir/grazoprevir Lipid modifying agents: lomitapide, lovastatin, simvastatin Opioid Antagonist: naloxegol PDE-5 inhibitor: sildenafil when used for treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension Sedatives/hypnotics: orally administered midazolam, triazolam PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED is contraindicated in patients receiving certain co-administered drugs for which altered plasma concentrations are associated with serious and/or life-threatening events or loss of therapeutic effect. ( 4 , 7.2 )

Drug interactions

DRUG INTERACTIONS Co-administration of PREZCOBIX with other drugs can alter the concentration of other drugs and other drugs may alter the concentrations of darunavir or cobicistat. Consult the full prescribing information prior to and during treatment for potential drug interactions. ( 4 , 5.6 , 7 , 12.3 ) 7.1 Potential for PREZCOBIX to Affect Other Drugs Darunavir co-administered with cobicistat is an inhibitor of CYP3A and CYP2D6. Cobicistat inhibits the following transporters: P-glycoprotein (P-gp), BCRP, MATE1, OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. Therefore, co-administration of PREZCOBIX with drugs that are primarily metabolized by CYP3A and/or CYP2D6 or are substrates of P-gp, BCRP, MATE1, OATP1B1 or OATP1B3 may result in increased plasma concentrations of such drugs, which could increase or prolong their therapeutic effect and can be associated with adverse events. Co-administration of PREZCOBIX with drugs that have active metabolite(s) formed by CYP3A may result in reduced plasma concentrations of these active metabolite(s), potentially leading to loss of their therapeutic effect (see Table 1 ). 7.2 Potential for Other Drugs to Affect PREZCOBIX Darunavir is metabolized by CYP3A. Cobicistat is metabolized by CYP3A, and to a minor extent, by CYP2D6. Co-administration of PREZCOBIX and drugs that induce CYP3A activity are expected to increase the clearance of darunavir and cobicistat, resulting in lowered plasma concentrations of darunavir and cobicistat which may lead to loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance. Co-administration of PREZCOBIX and other drugs that inhibit CYP3A may result in increased plasma concentrations of darunavir and cobicistat (see Table 1 ). 7.3 Established and Other Potentially Significant Drug Interactions Table 1 provides dosing recommendations for expected clinically relevant interactions with PREZCOBIX (this table is not all inclusive). These recommendations are based on either drug interaction trials or predicted interactions due to the expected magnitude of interaction and potential for serious adverse events or loss of therapeutic effect. The table includes examples of potentially significant interactions but is not all inclusive , and therefore the label of each drug that is co-administered with PREZCOBIX should be consulted for information related to the route of metabolism, interaction pathways, potential risks, and specific actions to be taken with regard to co-administration. For the list of examples of contraindicated drugs, [see Contraindications (4) ] . Table 1: Established and Other Potentially Significant this table is not all inclusive Drug Interactions: Alterations in Dose or Regimen May Be Recommended Concomitant Drug Class: Drug Name Examples Effect on Concentration of Darunavir, Cobicistat, or Concomitant Drug Clinical Comment HIV-1 antiviral agents: Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) didanosine ↔ darunavir ↔ cobicistat ↔ didanosine Didanosine should be administered one hour before or two hours after PREZCOBIX (administered with food). HIV-1 antiviral agents: Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs) efavirenz ↓ cobicistat ↓ darunavir Co-administration with efavirenz is not recommended because it may result in loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance to darunavir. etravirine ↓ cobicistat darunavir: effect unknown Co-administration with etravirine is not recommended because it may result in loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance to darunavir. nevirapine ↓ cobicistat darunavir: effect unknown Co-administration with nevirapine is not recommended because it may result in loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance to darunavir. HIV-1 antiviral agents: CCR5 co-receptor antagonists maraviroc ↑ maraviroc Maraviroc is a substrate of CYP3A. When co-administered with PREZCOBIX, patients should receive maraviroc 150 mg twice daily. Other agents Alpha 1-adrenoreceptor antagonist: alfuzosin ↑ alfuzosin Co-administration is contraindicated due to potential for serious and/or life-threatening reactions such as hypotension. Antibacterials: clarithromycin, erythromycin, telithromycin ↑ darunavir ↑ cobicistat ↑ antibacterial Consider alternative antibiotics with concomitant use of PREZCOBIX. Anticancer agents: dasatinib, nilotinib ↑ anticancer agent A decrease in the dosage or an adjustment of the dosing interval of dasatinib or nilotinib may be necessary when co-administered with PREZCOBIX. Consult the dasatinib and nilotinib prescribing information for dosing instructions. vinblastine, vincristine For vincristine and vinblastine, consider temporarily withholding the cobicistat-containing antiretroviral regimen in patients who develop significant hematologic or gastrointestinal side effects when PREZCOBIX is administered concurrently with vincristine or vinblastine. If the antiretroviral regimen must be withheld for a prolonged period, consider initiating a revised regimen that does not include a CYP3A or P-gp inhibitor. Anticoagulants: Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) apixaban ↑ apixaban Due to potentially increased bleeding risk, dosing recommendations for co-administration of apixaban with PREZCOBIX depend on the apixaban dose. Refer to apixaban dosing instructions for co-administration with P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitors in apixaban prescribing information. rivaroxaban ↑ rivaroxaban Co-administration of rivaroxaban with PREZCOBIX is not recommended because it may lead to an increased bleeding risk. dabigatran etexilate edoxaban ↑ dabigatran ↑ edoxaban Refer to the dabigatran etexilate or edoxaban prescribing information for recommendations regarding co-administration. The specific recommendations are based on indication, renal function, and effect of the co-administered P-gp inhibitors on the concentration of dabigatran or edoxaban. Clinical monitoring is recommended when a DOAC not affected by CYP3A4 but transported by P-gp, including dabigatran etexilate and edoxaban, is co-administered with PREZCOBIX. Other Anticoagulants: warfarin warfarin: effect unknown Monitor the international normalized ratio (INR) when co-administering with warfarin. Anticonvulsants: carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin ↓ darunavir ↓ cobicistat Co-administration is contraindicated due to potential for reduced plasma concentrations of darunavir, which may result in loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance. Anticonvulsants with CYP3A induction effects that are NOT contraindicated: e.g. eslicarbazepine, oxcarbazepine ↓ cobicistat darunavir: effect unknown Consider alternative anticonvulsant or antiretroviral therapy to avoid potential changes in exposures. If co-administration is necessary, monitor for lack or loss of virologic response. Anticonvulsants that are metabolized by CYP3A: e.g. clonazepam ↑ clonazepam Clinical monitoring of anticonvulsants is recommended. Antidepressants: Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): e.g. paroxetine, sertraline SSRIs: effects unknown When co-administering with SSRIs, TCAs, or trazodone, careful dose titration of the antidepressant to the desired effect, including using the lowest feasible initial or maintenance dose, and monitoring for antidepressant response are recommended. Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs): e.g. amitriptyline, desipramine, imipramine, nortriptyline ↑ TCAs Other antidepressants: trazodone ↑ trazodone Antifungals: itraconazole, isavuconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole ↑ darunavir ↑ cobicistat Monitor for increased darunavir or cobicistat and/or antifungal adverse reactions. ↑ itraconazole ↑ ketoconazole ↑ isavuconazole ↔ posaconazole Specific dosing recommendations are not available for co-administration with these antifungals. Monitor for increased itraconazole or ketoconazole adverse reactions. voriconazole voriconazole: effects unknown Co-administration with voriconazole is not recommended unless benefit/risk assessment justifies the use of voriconazole. Anti-gout: co

Adverse reactions

ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in other sections of the labeling: Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Severe skin reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Effects on serum creatinine [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] New onset or worsening renal impairment when used with tenofovir DF [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Immune Reconstitution Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] The most common adverse reactions to darunavir, a component of PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED (incidence greater than or equal to 5%) of at least moderate severity (greater than or equal to Grade 2) were diarrhea, nausea, rash, headache, abdominal pain, and vomiting. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Janssen Products, LP at 1-800-JANSSEN (1-800-526-7736) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Clinical Trials in Adults During the darunavir clinical development program, where darunavir was co-administered with ritonavir 100 mg once or twice daily, the most common clinical adverse reactions (incidence greater than or equal to 5%) of at least moderate intensity (greater than or equal to Grade 2) were diarrhea, nausea, rash, headache, abdominal pain, and vomiting. See the darunavir full prescribing information for additional information on adverse reactions reported with darunavir co-administered with ritonavir. See cobicistat full prescribing information for clinical trial information on adverse reactions reported with cobicistat. One single arm clinical trial was conducted with darunavir and cobicistat administered as single entities in 313 participants with HIV-1. Adverse reactions evaluated through Week 24 did not differ substantially from those reported in clinical trials with darunavir co-administered with ritonavir. Clinical Trials in Pediatrics No clinical trials with PREZCOBIX and PREZCOBIX PED were performed in pediatric participants. However, the safety of the components of PREZCOBIX, darunavir and cobicistat, co-administered with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, was evaluated through clinical trial GS-US-216-0128 in virologically-suppressed pediatric participants of 12 to less than 18 years of age with weight ≥40 kg (Cohort 1, N=7), pediatric participants 6 to less than 12 years of age with weight ≥25 kg to <40 kg (Cohort 2, N=8) and pediatric participants aged ≥3 years with weight ≥15 kg to <25 kg (Cohort 3, N=11) through Week 48. Safety analyses of this trial in these pediatric participants did not identify new safety concerns compared to the known safety profile of PREZCOBIX in adult participants [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of darunavir. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Metabolism and Nutrition Disorders Redistribution of body fat Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders Rhabdomyolysis (associated with co-administration with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) Renal and Urinary Disorders Crystal nephropathy, crystalluria Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders Toxic epidermal necrolysis, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] .

Mechanism of action

Mechanism of Action PREZCOBIX and PREZCOBIX PED are fixed-dose combinations of an HIV-1 antiviral drug, darunavir and a CYP3A inhibitor, cobicistat [see Microbiology (12.4) ].
