HIV medication drug interactions
I am studying for my consult psych recert boards. Various sources indicate that ritonavir and other HIV antivirals tend to lower methadone levels. According to the UCSF site, ritonavir may induce 3A4, thus lowering methadone levels: Interactions with Methadone.
However, other sources, including wikipedia, states the ritonavir inhibits 3A4 - thus increasing the levels of drugs such as statins.

Initiation of statin therapy
Hi all,
I posted a thread asking about CV risk tools earlier this month. This is for my research poster project for only educational purposes, not to be published. Here's a follow-up question for you as displayed in the poll. I wish this thread could hold multiple polls but I can't. Thus I posted up 2 questions in 1poll. Please make at least 2 selections! Your help is greatly appreciated! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Public service announcement: CPJE is incredibly difficult
I just took the CPJE. It was awful and I'm sure I failed.
There were so many questions that were obviously written based on guidelines from a decade ago. I never learned these old guidelines, I learned the current ones!
There was a question about the proper statin dose for someone based on their cholesterol... We were told in school NEVER to do this, and to use ASCVD risk (per the newer guidelines).
There were a ton of questions about niche disease states like Myasthenia Gravis. There...
