Sildenafil does not alter nelfinavir pharmacokinetics.
    Therapeutic drug monitoring, 2003, Volume: 25, Issue:2

    The objective of this study was to investigate if sildenafil influences the pharmacokinetics of nelfinavir. Five HIV-infected patients on steady-state nelfinavir-containing therapy were subject to pharmacokinetic sampling for nelfinavir concentration twice: without sildenafil and with sildenafil 25 mg as a single dose. There were no differences in the AUC, T(max), or C(max) of nelfinavir. In a similar design, two patients on indinavir and two patients on ritonavir combined with saquinavir were studied. In accordance with the literature, neither of these two treatments was affected. It is concluded that nelfinavir pharmacokinetics were unaffected by concomitant intake of a single dose of sildenafil.

Male sexual dysfunction associated with antiretroviral therapy.
    Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2002, May-01, Volume: 30, Issue:1

    To determine whether treatment with protease inhibitors (PIs) is associated with male sexual dysfunction, we conducted a retrospective, cohort study of 254 adult male PI recipients who received care from the staff-model division of a large managed care organization in New England between 1993 and 1998. After a median of 5.0 years of observation, 80 incident cases of sexual dysfunction were observed. Relative to unexposed individuals, the rate of sexual dysfunction adjusted for confounding was most elevated with use of ritonavir (hazard ratio [HR], 2.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.34-5.97; p =.006) followed by indinavir (HR, 1.69; 95% CI, 0.84-3.37; p =.14), nelfinavir (HR, 1.53; 95% CI, 0.66-3.54; p =.32) and saquinavir (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 0.53-2.96; p =.60). We conclude that PIs, especially ritonavir, appear to increase the risk of sexual dysfunction.
