Enzymes that are known to metabolize commonly used HAART agents are listed, as well as enzymes that are inhibited or induced by each agent. If a HAART drug inhibits a metabolizing enzyme, then blood levels of other drugs that are substrates for that same enzyme may be increased. Likewise, if a HAART agent inducing the expression or function of an enzyme, than drugs that are substrates for that same enzyme will be more rapidly metabolized and eliminated.

Abbreviations : NNRTI - non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; NRTI - nucloeside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; PI - protease inhibitor; IGI - integrase inhibitor; C5I - CCR5 nhibitor; ALDH - Alcohol dehydrogenase.
