The Cochrane Collaboration
Cochrane Reviews
Cochrane is an international, non-profit, independent organisation, established to ensure that up-to-date, accurate information about the effects of healthcare interventions is readily available worldwide. It produces and disseminates systematic reviews of healthcare interventions, and promotes the search for evidence in the form of clinical trials and other studies of the effects of interventions.

This 2013 version includes updated sections on antiretroviral pharmacologic and pharmacokinetic properties and additional and expanded drug interaction tables. As principles of HIV therapy evolve, and as new agents continue to emerge, antiretroviral combination regimens become increasingly complex. Now, more than ever, factors such as efficacy, toxicity, drug interactions, medication adherence, and cost need to be carefully considered when designing a particular treatment regimen for an individual patient. A new section on pharmacology of directly acting antivirals (DAAs) for hepatitis C infection has also been added.
