The success of antiretroviral therapy leads to a chronification of HIV-infection resulting in a decline of lethality. The lifelong intake of antiinfectives, though, may result in drug side effects with clinical dental implications. Despite fundamental cellular alterations, including prolonged hemorrhage following surgical interventions, antiretrovirals of all classes, of protease inhibitors, (non-nucleoside) reverse transcriptase inhibitors and of fusion inhibitors may promote oral manifestions like oral ulcera, dysgeusia, salivary gland disorders, papilloma, (peri)oral paresthesia or aphtous stomatitis. Due to inhibitory effects especially of protease inhibitors of cy tochrome P450-isoenzyme CYP3A4 therapeutical interactions with psychotropics/sedatives, antifungal agents, corticoids and intiinfectives, particularly metronidazole, may raise. The application and prescription of systemically metabolized adjuvant drugs as well as the monitoring of the possible progression of HIV infection is a key task in the oral health care of HIV-seropositive patients calling for a close medical coordination of therapeutical interventions.

A promising drug, palbociclib, received accelerated approval as a first line treatment when used with the aromatase inhibitor, letrozole, for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer. We report a case of a patient who presented with febrile neutropenia, grade 3 stomatitis with lip swelling, periorbital edema, and transaminitis while on palbociclib and verapamil. Labs normalized upon discontinuation of verapamil and our patient was able to continue treatment with palbociclib and letrozole. Verapamil's inhibition of both permeability-glycoprotein (P-gp) and CYP3A4 is suspected to have led to the adverse side effects seen in our patient.
