Lack of data on the pharmacokinetics of efavirenz in pregnant women at the 400 mg reduced dose currently prevents universal roll-out. Population pharmacokinetic modelling was used to explore pharmacokinetic endpoints at 200, 400 and 600 mg daily doses in pregnant women stratified by CYP2B6 metabolic status.
