March 2020

The December 2019 edition of Prescriber Update contained an article about medicines that can increase serum creatinine without affecting glomerular function¹.

Amantadine, cobicistat and olaparib were included as currently approved medicines that have been reported to compete with the active secretion of creatinine. Dolutegravir was not included in this list.

The article on the Medsafe website has been updated to include dolutegravir.
