The combination injection is intended for maintenance treatment of adults who have [[undetectable]] HIV levels in the blood ([[viral load]] less than 50 copies/mL) with their current [[antiretroviral]] treatment, and when the virus has not developed resistance to [[non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor]]s (NNRTIs) and [[integrase strand transfer inhibitor]]s.

These drugs significantly decrease cabotegravir concentrations in the body and thus may reduce its effectiveness.

The drug is inactivated in the body by [[glucuronidation]], mainly by the enzyme UGT1A1, and to a much lesser extent by [[UGT1A9]].

[145] => [146] => Elimination has only been studied for [[oral administration]]: Most of the drug is eliminated via the faeces in unchanged form (47%). It is not known how much of this amount comes from the [[bile]], and how much was not absorbed in the first place. (The bile actually contains the glucuronide, but this could be broken up again in the gut [[lumen (anatomy)|lumen]] to give the parent substance that is observed in the faeces.)
