The recommendation to conduct genetic screenings will be included in a black box warning on the drug’s label.

HIV-positive people who have a certain variation in an immune system gene should not take abacavir because they have a higher risk of a severe allergic reaction to the drug, according to FDA. A GSK-sponsored study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in February, found that genetic screening prior to prescribing abacavir could reduce the incidence of suspected hypersensitivity reactions from 7.8% to 3.4%. Symptoms of the reaction include fever, rash, nausea and breathing difficulties. Based on the data, it was estimated that about 61% of people with the genetic variant could experience a severe allergic reaction to abacavir, compared with 4% of people without the variant.

Our immune systems respond to foreign substances with an arsenal of cells. Some are programmed to “remember” invaders they’ve encountered in the past. Normally, anything previously identified as harmless is allowed to pass. Sometimes, however, the immune response goes awry, triggering an allergic reaction.
