A 39-year-old male with HIV has been on antiretroviral therapy for 6 months and you are contacting him for a scheduled MTM session over the phone. He tells you that he takes atazanavir 300 mg, one capsule every morning; ritonavir 100 mg: one tablet every morning; emtricitabine/tenofovir: 1 tablet every morning; and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim DS, one tablet every morning. He states that he has also been taking over-the-counter (OTC) omeprazole 20 mg twice daily for heartburn for the past 2 weeks. His most recent viral load was <20 copies/mL (baseline 5200 copies/mL) and his CD4 count was 198 cells/mm3 (baseline 123 cells/mm3). Which of the following MRPs have you identified with this patient?
++
++
++
a. Unnecessary medication
++

++
++
c. Contraindicated drug or dose
