  • Skin and Hypersensitivity Reactions
  • Immune Reconstitution Syndrome
4.1Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
4.2Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during postmarketing experience in patients receiving doravirine-containing regimens. Because postmarketing reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)
Hepatobiliary Disorders: hepatitis
Investigations: hepatic enzyme increased
