Treatment of HIV/TB coinfection is challenging due to potent drug-drug interactions between antiretrovirals and rifampicin. The effect of rifampicin on darunavir/ritonavir has not been studied. Population pharmacokinetic modelling was applied to investigate the interaction and generate alternative doses to inform clinical trial design.
