or inducer (and note that drugs may be in more<br />

than one category). Note that the several antibiotic<br />

classes are particularly prevalent: macrolides,<br />

azole antifungals, antituberculosis drugs, and<br />

antiretrovirals account for most of the antibiotics<br />

with significant drug interactions. Complex<br />

drug interactions can occur with these drugs: for<br />

example, the antiretroviral drug etravirine is<br />

simultaneously a substrate, an inhibitor, and an<br />

inducer of drug-metabolizing enzymes!
