Overview of Tivicay
Tivicay is the first once daily, unboosted integrase inhibitor.*
Tivicay is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal products for the treatment of HIV-infected adults, adolescents and children above 6 years of age.[1] Tivicay is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to dolutegravir or to any of the excipients, and with co-administration with dofetilide.[1]
Tivicay has been extensively studied in a clinical programme involving 3,041 patients across five phase III trials (SINGLE, SPRING-2, FLAMINGO, SAILING, VIKING-3).[2-9]
Reasons to rethink first line treatment with Tivicay for patients with HIV-1:
Make dolutegravir▼ your core agent

* Tivicay is dosed 50 mg once daily for patients without documented or clinically suspected resistance to the integrase class. Tivicay should be administered twice daily in this population when co-administered with some medicines (e.g. efavirenz, nevirapine, tipranavir/ritonavir, or rifampicin). [1]
Tivicay is dosed 50 mg twice daily for patients with resistance to the integrase class (documented or clinically suspected). Co-administration of Tivicay with some medicines should be avoided in this population (e.g. efavirenz, nevirapine, tipranavir/ritonavir, or rifampicin). In the presence of integrase inhibitor resistance, there are insufficient data to recommend a dose for dolutegravir in adolescents and children. [1]
