Can Stribild be crushed?
Yes, Stribild tablets can be crushed or cut to ease administration to people who have difficulty swallowing the tablets. The effects of crushing Stribild and then combining the crushed tablet with liquid nutrition were investigated in 24 volunteers. There was no difference in most pharmacokinetic parameters, such as area under the curve between the people receiving crushed Stribild and those receiving a whole tablet with breakfast. A difference in the maximum concentration of Stribild was noted between the two groups, but this was considered not clinically relevant. People with swallowing difficulties or needing liquid feeding can safely use crushed and suspended Stribild tablets. Continue reading
