Answer
Hi
All the meds you listed include the same active drugs in the same combination.
In the UK this combination pill is called Atripla.
The different names are because this are made by different companies. It is very safe to switch between them.
Hi Portia, are you erestz as a single-tablet regimen (it only contains rilpirivine)? If this is the case how were you started on this treatment? and have you been on any other treatments beforehand?
Do you know your current CD4 count and viral load? Can I ask why you are looking to switch?
Myteladov is a generic version of TLD. This is a very common first line recommendation and is a classic 3-drug regimen containing tenofovir, lamivudine and dolutegravir. Often people are switched to TLD from older regimens. If you already have a suppressed viral load and have not been on other treatments before, this will be a suitable switch.
