Eflaten

What will happen to my partner if we are being intimate while I'm using eflaten tabs? ## Hello, Sathizone! How are you? Nothing, medication that you take won't have any effect on your partner. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Efavirenz as possible including nausea, headache, depression, back pain and abdominal pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What will happen if I skip two days not taking my eflaten. ## Hi, I slept with a girl and we were using condoms; as of which she started bleeding. I don't trust her. Will I get HIV after 72 hrs? I bought Eflaten tables after 2 hrs. Will they help me?

Hi, my bf is hiv positive and i am hiv negative. We use protection during intimacy and try to be as safe as possible. However the other day the condom broke. We went to the doctor and i was given eflaten which i took within 72 hours and still on it til now. I just want to know, does this drug prevent someone from being infected with hiv if they are negative and taken within 72 hours? ## Hello, Babs! How are you? Yes, some antibiotics and antivirals, such as this medication can help prevent HIV infection, though there are never any guarantees. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, headache and stomach pain. How long did your doctor tell you to take it?

And then a completely different type of ARV is needed. ## He needs to learn his viral load. If it is undetectable then it is safe. To make sure you...

Hi, I recently found out I'm HIV positive, so the doc put me on Eflaten. I'd just like too know if I will experience anymore weight loss with this tablet? ## It is possible, since it may cause diarrhea, nausea, and dehydration, as side effects, according to the U.S. FDA. However, if that occurs, you doctor should be able to prescribe medications that can help prevent it from occurring. Are you on any other medications? How long ago were you diagnosed? ## I was diagnosed August 2016. I weighed 85kilos I now weigh 75kilos, I have received my meds but haven't started as I'm afraid of the side effects. With this I also received a vitamin novavit. ## So far no side effects enough to make me loose weight, but my back has started paining in fact my whole body is Kore fragilevto...

Hi. Been on Eflaten for one year six months and gradually lost 10kgs since. I am loosing my appetite as well. I have told my doctor but she suggested that changing treatment is not advisable. Someone said I should go on mild steroids. Please help! My clothes are no longer fitting me. ## That can be a normal side effect of this medication, according to NIH reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and mood changes. However, it could also be caused by your condition, which might be why your doctor does not want to switch to a different treatment option. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? ## Not much improvement. I am experiencing nausea, sometimes tiredness and definitely mood changes. I am depressed all the time and hardly eat. What I noticed is that I...

Thanks. ## Hello, Siffy! How are you? If it contains the same active ingredient, then it should work for just as well as the other one. I can't say you'll stay undetectable, because sometimes our bodies get used to a medication and it may not be as effective. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Good day Can you tell me if I have yellow eyes due to HiV treatment should ## Hi, I just started using Eflaten..i first experience minor side effects but in a month i seems OK...But now I have big pi...

Does eflaten affect the libido or cause an early climax? If one partner uses it what can we do to get a baby without affecting the partner who is 'negative'?

I am on Eflaten and purbac double strength, my cd4 count drops from 215 to 185, can someone tell me why?. Viral load undetectable.

I was using eflaten and now changed to arion tablets. I've got problems though... My feet are swollen and itching. My whole body is itching with red patches. I have a sulphur allergy. Should I continue my treatment?
