Several commonly used opioid analgesics, such as fentanyl, sufentanil, alfentanil, and hydrocodone, are by report primarily metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme. The concurrent use of ritonavir, a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor, can lead to significant drug interactions. Using physiologically based pharmacokin...
