I have had some side affects, but not too intolerable. I am dizzy in the am. Can I expect more side effects or would I have had them by now. ## 2 weeks on Atripla now, and I have not experienced the weird dreams that I was warned about.

Can Atripla Be Take With Osteo Bi
Can Atripla be take with Osteo BI-Flex is it safe ## Hi Linda, I don't see any information stating that Atripla has drug interactions with Osteo Bi-Flex. With that said, you SHOULD be okay to take them both. As with any medications, you should always pay attention to how your body is affected and promptly report any issues to your doctor. I hope this helps and good luck!
