May i still take my Altosec 20mg? ## Can i take Atripla with a laxative? ## Peter, from what I am seeing on the UCLA Health website, there are possible interactions between these drugs, but they are listed as "low" severity. You will want to check with your doctor of pharmacist to confirm that it is safe for you to take them together. "Omeprazole 20mg Oral disintegrating tablet and Efavirenz ... Severity: low ...

Genvoya giving a strange smell after taking it

Every time I take my daily Genvoya (just started on it after switching from Atripla) about 3 months ago, I start to smell a strange scent. It doesn't smell bad, sort of sweet, sort of like plugging in one of those strong Airwick plug-ins... I know - sounds strange. I take the medicine with supper at night, and I get the smell all evening and during the night. But by the morning, the scent has pretty much disappeared, only to be completely gone by Noon. But then it starts all over again later in the day when i take the next dosage. Anyone else have this issue? I know it is minor, but just curious if this is common. My doctor doesn't have a clue, as usual on these types of symptoms.. ## That can be a side effect of most medications, they can mess with your sense of smell, and tast...

Genvoya and weight gain

My partner and I have been on genvoya for a year or more and have both experienced weight gain of around 25 or more lbs. It is very strange for both of us, we work out 5 days a week and eat pretty healthy but are struggling to loose the weight. Has anyone else gained weight? I myself have never weighed this much even when I was not working out and eating poorly. ## Most medications can cause weight gain in people that take them, according to FDA instructions. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and diarrhea. What is your current weight? Are you still gaining? What does your normal diet consist of? ## Funny, I’ve been taking it for a couple months and suddenly have belly fat... I cycle, spin and have always been thin. Suddenly having a b...
