Multiple factors may affect combined antiretroviral therapy (cART). We investigated the impact of food, beverages, dietary supplements, and alcohol on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of 33 antiretroviral drugs. Systematic review in adherence to PRISMA guidelines was performed, with 109 reports of 120 studies included. For each drug, meta-analyses or qualitative analyses were conducted. We have found clinically significant interactions with food for more than half of antiretroviral agents. The following drugs should be taken with or immediately after the meal: tenofovir disoproxil, etravirine, rilpivirine, dolutegravir, elvitegravir, atazanavir, darunavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir. Didanosine, zalcitabine, zidovudine, efavirenz, amprenavir, fosamprenavir, and indinavir should be taken on an empty stomach for maximum patient benefit. Antiretroviral agents not mentioned above can be administered regardless of food. There is insufficient evidence available to make recommendations about consuming juice or alcohol with antiretroviral drugs. Resolving drug-food interactions may contribute to maximized cART effectiveness and safety.
