NNRTIS AND STATINS - EFAVIRENZ
Efavirenz (and possibly nevirapine) lowers the levels of atorvastatin, simvastatin, and pravastatin.
It would seem prudent to monitor the lipid profile of patients taking efavirenz and any of these statins, although bear in mind that NNRTIs are often used with protease inhibitors, which dramatically increase the levels of some statins.
