instead of truvada it is best only for those non responding to combo tenofovir+lamivudine.
Sorry but truvada is not ok in case of tdf resistance , which is only theory because there is notone single case of naive treatment developping resistance.the other antiviral in combo is too weak and similar to lamivudine, it also shares lamivudine mutants and resistance
the correct choice is entecavir which combo with tdf cross protect from development of any resistance
i think there are many tries from drug makers to push truvada because the patent will expire after many years.
the interesting is that adding telbivudine even adefovir or truvada which are very toxic for kidneys recover kidneys function and drugs become non toxic
if you dont recover by fibroguard and baking soda you may consider changing entecavir with telbivudine, the potency of this combo is higher than entecavir and barrier to resistance as good as with entecavir
Yesterday, I took 1 Truvada at 7am but since I was in a hurry after dinner, I accidentally took one more Truvada last night. I tried to vomit it up but I was able to vomit only a part (dissolved part) of it. Because of panic, I forgot to take Kaletra last night. I rushed to the A&E and asked the doctor's advice on what to do. Since I waited for more than 3 hours before I was able to see the doctor, I was already drowsy when the doctor talked to me.
try nitazoxanide first and if you see no results add tenofovir (do not use the other tablet which is truvada it is tenofovir+ftc but you don t need it, it can have more sides than tenofovir alone and only if you have resistant mutants or tenofovir alone doesn t work can be used)
it makes sense to try ntz first or monitor for another 6-12 months because we have seen from a post there is a new formula for tenofovir with 4.
Since the chances a quite low Can I stop taking pep or can I stop kaletra and remain with truvada take it upto 28days.coz kaletra gives me diarrhea.
How can I change from taking Truvada in the noon to taking Truvada at midnight? For instance, should I do two doses of Truvada in one 24 hour period or should I do no doses in one 24 hour period to get it right?
3. When the doctors prescribed the medication I ended up taking 4x the recommended dose of Aluvia. This was due to me having received four cans of Aluvia,not realizing that each can was meant to last 1 week.
Truvada is classified by the FDA as a pregnancy category B drug which means it is safe during pregnancy. During my pregnancy I used Tenofovir which is also cat B and my baby is healthy thanks god. I never stopped taking it. I don't know much about Truvada but as long as it is category B, I believe it is fine. Confirm with your dr. Goood luck.
I went to health care center today, and explained the situation to doctor
I did a rapid test there as control, and which is negative. and then doctor prescribed me Truvada as PEP for a month, and asked me to do a RNA after finish the Truvada.
I keep searching "Effectiveness of Truvada alone as PEP" in internet, I am not sure if this is a normal practice for issuing Truvada alone.
So I had a discussion with my doctor yesterday regarding the recent elevation in my AST, ALT ( about 1.5 x ULN). I am LAM resistance, on Truvada for almost 2 years now. Everything else (HBV DNA undetectable, ultrasound ok, CBC, fibroscan + all other stuff i have no idea) came back normal. AST + ALT was in normal range all the time but 3 months recently have been up a bit.
She advised me to continue monitoring my condition and warn me about possible resistance.
After several hours going from a hospital to another, I finally could get a Truvada pill in the very deadline limit of the treatment, probably between the 72nd and 74th hour after the sex.
I was quite desperate and I felt that the staff in this hospital wasn't too much prepared to take cases like mine with HIV risk envolved. It took too many hours, even though I tried to explain them the gravity about this situation.
