Popis: To characterise the interactions between tacrolimus and antiretroviral drug combinations in hepatitis C virus-HIV co-infected patients who had received a liver transplant. An observational, open-label, multiple-dose, two-period, one-sequence design clinical trial in which patients received tacrolimus as an immunosuppressive therapy during the postoperative period and then had an antiretroviral drug regimen added. Tacrolimus pharmacokinetics were evaluated at steady state during these two periods. Fourteen patients participated in the study and seven participated in the intensified pharmacokinetic protocol. Patients were included if they had undergone liver transplantation for end-stage chronic hepatitis C, absence of opportunistic infection, a CD4 cell count of >150 cells/μL and an undetectable HIV plasma viral load (
