5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this trial is to determine the effect of raltegravir on pravastatin pharmacokinetics and vice versa by intrasubject comparison.
Detailed Description
Pravastatin is a first choice statin for HIV-infected patients. Therefore, raltegravir and pravastatin are expected to be co-administered frequently in HIV-infected patients.Since both agents share the same metabolic pathway, there is a potential for a pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction. Because co-administration will be indicated in many HIV-infected patients, it is essential to investigate this potential interaction.
