Artemether-lumefantrine is often coadministered with efavirenz-based antiretroviral therapy for malaria treatment in HIV-infected women during pregnancy. Previous studies showed changes in lumefantrine pharmacokinetics due to interaction with efavirenz in nonpregnant adults. The influence of pregnancy on this interaction has not been reported. This pharmacokinetic study involved 35 pregnant and 34 nonpregnant HIV-malaria-coinfected women receiving efavirenz-based antiretroviral therapy and was conducted in four health facilities in Nigeria. Participants received a 3-day standard regimen of artemether-lumefantrine for malaria treatment, and intensive pharmacokinetic sampling was conducted from 0.5 to 96 h after the last dose. Plasma efavirenz, lumefantrine, and desbutyl-lumefantrine were quantified using validated assays, and pharmacokinetic parameters were derived using noncompartmental analysis. The median middose plasma concentrations of efavirenz were significantly lower in pregnant
